Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Ah, so every evening I’ll post something vague, pithy, or enigmatic, just in case. Or perhaps “Can’t believe I finally hit the big Lotto” and just stop posting.
I carefully followed all of Facebook’s instructions for having my wife’s Facebook account deleted after she died, which included sending them her death certificate. That was almost three years ago. They never did delete it.
I think people leave comments on whatever your last post was. Everything from “Jeez I miss you.” to “You still owe me for the concert tickets.” to “Good riddance, you gave me a VD.”
Before one of my well-loved cousins who was a prankster passed, he had told another cousin that when that happened to please go on his social media accounts and post “his name” is no more", She did. It was his way of saying goodbye to everyone.
A gal I knew made a farewell video, since she was dying of cancer. I sent the link to the people at LinkedIn to get her account removed. They did, but the people at X never did, so her account is still there
This seems to be another juxtaposition of Rat & Pig. There have been many strips with Pig where his answer to a serious or profound statement is something like; “I like cheese.” This is the same thing, only with Rat. Just an observation.
The internet is slowly becomming the biggest graveyard possible. With e-mail adresses, accounts, profiles and other remnants of people who have long since died. And since data space has become so cheap it’s more hassle to delete an inactive account than the freed space is worth, so companies don’t really do that anymore.
Yes, have you ever seen Chocolate Factory waitress Penny as she walks up stairs. It orbits. Likely the single thing Rat an I have in common. P.S. Hackers will continue to steal your identity long after you’re gone.
I’m not on any social media platforms (unless your count Go Comics). Does that mean I was never alive in the first place? I need to know before I can go on with whatever it is I’m doing here.

I’m still getting invites from friends that I know are dead. That just makes me sick. You might’ve guessed that I’m not a fan of social media…

It’s frozen as we speak. You can post new crap but, from the outside, it still looks like a pile of crap :D

Rat is not dead yet. He will post something classless after that one. He can’t resist.

They’ll need to build new server farms just to store all of the e-mails and texts that people didn’t delete.

A bit more than we wanted to know about Rat, perhaps, but what can you do?
