Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for March 23, 2022

So that’s why some religions won’t bury a suicide in with everyone else, To many new customer’s stop by occasionally.

The Mayans had a goddess of suicide. According to their religion, if you committed suicide, you wernt straight to the highest heaven. One of the many reasons why their civilization died out.

Stan: I was helping my cousin Ben with this kite experiment, and …

I wish Sir pTerry were around to appreciate this.

I thought suicide was Painless?

Shades (no pun intended) of Piers Anthony’s “On A Pale Horse.”

No. Painless was the dentist on MA.S.H. .

I bet he kills at the comedy clubs.

I thought his name was, “Grim”.

well this is a different turn

In “Dead Like Me” when a reaper is reaping their final soul – that person is then assigned to become a reaper. (Apparently reapers are given quotas to meet.)

this is a bit of a dark arc for this strip, I wonder where they’re going with it

Bad and dangerous road to take here. Not to mention extremely insensitive.

Now that makes a lot of sense ;)

Don’t like the way this strip is trending.

Wasn’t there a TV series several years ago along the same theme (suicides become reapers)?

Actually, I find this touching. Why is everyone so afraid of little depth?

Will tomorrow’s panel have RJ asking if there are twinkies in the after-life?

Also when you get hit in the head with an errant space toilet seat.

Just my opinion. Suicide is often not desired, it just becomes necessary. Spend the last 6 months of your life in pain in a bed or check out early on your terms while you still can. Individual decision that is right for the person at that time. No one else deserves an opinion.

I’m getting a Pratchett Discworld vibe . . .

Better than what happens in Beetlejuice.

There suicides become civil servants.

I have forgot the timing, but I’ll say 11th 12th century the Catholic church was OK with suicide for the right reasons. Dying before the heathen hordes killed you. Maybe other reasons. Research it.

Really unnecessary and insensitive of those who have lost a child to suicide like I have. That’s not how I want to think of my son.
