Then it shouldn't have opossums.
But Canada.
Do you take card?
In this day and age, I sure hope Kharon would.
Oh you’re right! Those are going to be worth something someday..
Especially when they're covered in green oxidized copper.
"He had the fucking coins, Paul!"
I much enjoyed part 2 and hope that opossum stumbles into godhood
It goes to 9. The next one isn't titled like it continues, but it does. Keep clicking.
EDIT: 8 to 9. There are 10, but numbered it goes to 9 in the title.
10, actually. 1-9 and an intermission with a different title.
I meant 9 as what the last one is titled. But I get your point
I need more. I'm invested.
5 is frames from a chill, slice-of-life animated feature: "4 heads are better than 1".
Spoiler: It doesn't like to be licked.
Now he'll be scrambling through the trash cans of heaven, screeching with joy.
Asphodel, most likely.
I don't know, that little guy looks like it has guts. Maybe it earned its place in Elysium.
If he didn't earn his place in Elysium, I'll kill everyone in Valhalla and then myself
kill everyone in valhalla and then
isn't that kind of the whole vibe? that's just, like, every day there right?
Guy didn't get the memo and only signed for Valhalla expecting booze and hot Valkyries.
tbf those are just as prevalent.
(pssht, don't tell them)
Was he even really dead, at least before they shoved Pennie's down its throat?
In ancient Greek they put coins into the mouth of dead people to pay the ferryman for a trip over the Styx to the underworld. (I think it was bronze coins, correct me pls if I'm wrong.)
So yes it must be dead in the first place.
Right but opossums are known to play dead, so they're saying that it could have been playing and they just made it choke to death on a penny
I don't know why, but this made me audibly giggle. I'm not sure if it's Charon's confusion in the penultimate panel, or the possum's gleeful/eager expression in the ultimate one.
Who wrote this?? Nobody says "penultimate"!
I wrote this. I so rarely get to use the word "penultimate"; I wanted to. It was especially cool to be able to pair it to "ultimate" meaning "last" instead of (the more colloquial) "greatest".
Last line gets me
I really like how the font changes in the speech bubbles based on who's talking.
I think this is a series, maybe post the rest?
It is a series, you can click the source link given to continue.
After finishing the series, I am upset and I want more!
It is! I don't want to spam though so my plan is to post the others over time.
But that’s impossumble! 😲
Paw paw!
Reeer!
Don't pay the ferry man!
