But what if your country doesn't have pennies?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Then it shouldn't have opossums.

But Canada.

In this day and age, I sure hope Kharon would.

Oh you’re right! Those are going to be worth something someday..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

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 comics, but numbered it goes to "9" in the title.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

10, actually. 1-9 and an intermission with a different title.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

I meant 9 as what the last one is titled. But I get your point

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I need more. I'm invested.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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.

I don't know, that little guy looks like it has guts. Maybe it earned its place in Elysium.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If he didn't earn his place in Elysium, I'll kill everyone in Valhalla and then myself

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

kill everyone in valhalla and then

isn't that kind of the whole vibe? that's just, like, every day there right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Guy didn't get the memo and only signed for Valhalla expecting booze and hot Valkyries.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

tbf those are just as prevalent.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

(pssht, don't tell them)

Was he even really dead, at least before they shoved Pennies down its throat?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Yes, that is what I was saying

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Who wrote this?? Nobody says "penultimate"!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

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".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Last line gets me

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

I really like how the font changes in the speech bubbles based on who's talking.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think this is a series, maybe post the rest?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is a series, you can click the source link given to continue.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

After finishing the series, I am upset and I want more!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

It is! I don't want to spam though so my plan is to post the others over time.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

But that’s impossumble! 😲

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Don't pay the ferry man!
