“By popular demand”

Line that suddenly comes to mind… comes from the last movie in the Twilight: Breaking Dawn. The older vampire of the trio of rulers, Marcus, is about to be killed by the oldest vampires, Stefan and Vladimir. In a very tired voice that shows he is looking forward to ending his existence, “Finally.”

“You plug ’em, we plant ’em.” From Tumbleweeds

You don’t like flowers? …..pretty soon they’ll grow on you.

Per the “layaway plans”, Sis and I made all the arrangements for Dad ahead of time. After the fateful day, I get a call trying to upsell me on additional services. Since they would not take “no” for an answer, I needed to find a notary to fill out their form proving that no means no!

Can one have a flexible plan? Or are the plans etched in stone?

Don’t remember who did it. But one memorable tombstone was " I told you I was sick."

Mort…. He’s the mortician on Bob’s Burgers too… lol

Now there’s a fitting epitaph for the most documented liar in human history, Donald J Trump.

I read a story about an old time golfer. It seems that he had lousy luck playing the game of golf. But he kept on playing for decades, with lousy luck all the time, (I guess he played for the exercise or the companionship). Still it seems that his lousy luck lasted to the very end. For when it was time to bury him. It still took six or seven tries to sink his coffin in the hole.

A novel based on one TV spy series, I think it was The Avengers, had a scene where the heroes had to visit a graveyard for some reason, and met a fellow who enjoyed reading whimsical headstones. He pointed out one marked, “Alas, poor Henrietta’s dead / Her brains were solid gingerbread / When the Day of Judgment comes / God will find a pile of crumbs.”

“I expected this but not so soon.”

“Hold my beer”

lol ( the comic)

“He was taken for granite.”

I’m reminded of when larger-than-life Irish author and playwright, Brendan Behan, was being buried, his brother Dominic looked down at his grave and said: “Ah Brendan, Brendan, I’m finally able to have the last word!”

“Glad to be among my loyal voters.”

I read comics such as “Shoe” to get a laugh and to forget about real life (including politics) for just a few moments. If you people with political agendas want to argue, take your arguments to a different forum somewhere else. GoComics is for people who want to read comics and have a laugh, nothing more.

Bird poop.

I saw a headstone once that said “Here lies a lawyer and an honest man.” I thought to myself, “Wow. They’re burying them 2 to a plot now.”

soon we will have 4 more years of these type of comments Yea
