Ice cream should make whatever fate awaits him better. Dying while eating ice cream seems like one of the more pleasant ways.

Maybe he will die of diabetes?

I have never thought about it like that. Truly thought provoking.

That is a possibility, but $5 of ice cream isn't enough to do most people any damage, although I suppose it could be the start of diabetes.

Diabetes isn't even caused by sugar. You're at higher risk of getting diabetes if you are obese, which you can become if you regularly overindulge on sugar. But you aren't going to get diabetes just because you drowned your sorrows in ice cream one time.

The fortune teller needs to run two sets of telling; one where she gives him back his money and one where she keeps it and lie to him. And maybe a control group for good measure.

I mean, these comics are low quality in general. I support efficient labor but this is lazy all around.
