I too wondered initially why he had a mustache in the 3rd panel. 😄
I think I need this one explained to me. Is halo a tennis term?
I simultaneously posted the explanation as you asked. lol The halo is too bright as he tries to slumber.
I also thought he should’ve lost the halo as he uses God to damn the situation, but it’s just a comic so overthinking it isn’t warranted.
It’s also going to ruin his overhead smash.
What? Where is the explanation? I'm still not getting it
the saying about angels getting their halos is assumed to be a good thing, but in the comic the angels actually really don't want a halo because it is very bright and makes it hard to sleep. Unless I'm missing another layer I think the tennis is just an arbitrary angelic recreational pass time that is known for having frustrated players break their rackets.
The angel is angry because someone did a good deed and he got a halo, but now when he goes to sleep at night, the halo glows so brightly that he can’t sleep. So doing a good deed and giving an angel their halo actually ended up being a bad thing for this particular angel.
