Was he even really dead, at least before they shoved Pennies 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
Yes, that is what I was saying
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
“He had the fucking coins, Paul!”
Ok, made me laugh XD ty.
Charon is such a slut. He’ll do anything for money.
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”!
Edit: yeah, sorry, this was just a line from a TV show. It was stupid.
Penultimate isn’t that uncommon? Just because you don’t personally hear it in your day-to-day life doesn’t mean other people don’t use it.
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”.
Don’t pay the ferry man!
Paw paw!
But what if your country doesn’t have pennies?
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.
I much enjoyed part 2 and hope that opossum stumbles into godhood
Spoiler: It doesn’t like to be licked.
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 comics, but numbered it goes to “9” in the title.
10, actually. 1-9 and an intermission with a different title.
I need more. I’m invested.
