At least it’s meaningful…

Cue the theme song from, “Chariots of Fire.”

I thought that life was just one hurdle after another, but it seems to continue after death.

Just trying to imagine the scene when one of those hurdlers clips the last hurdle.

CDWARDS You’re sick! That was the first thing I saw.

At least he wasn’t a steeplechaser.

steeples aren’t all that hard to catch; they just sit on top of buildings not even bothering to elude the chase

so, if the guy was a star golfer in college would they chip him in from the rough?

If he was a football star, would they have gone for a Hail Mary play?

Baseball? - Everyone goes to Denny’s for a Grand Slam?

Tennis - Love All! This one is now enshrined with all the other Death Cartoons at The Family Plot Blog: http://thefamilyplot.wordpress.com/

I wonder how they would’ve done it if he was a javelin or discus thrower.

What if he was a swimmer?

pole vault??? that is just plain lewd. lends new meaning to “stiff”. but one hilarious mental image….

Volleyball, he would have been spiked.

@battycomic I was thinking the same thing!

That last step’s a doozy.
