Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 26, 2024

Thanks for Charon.

Nooooo!

Who is this guy with the Reaper? It seems like he’s a recurring character who’s been around the strip(like his cloaked guide).

Is there a dad joke here? Is “It’s a living” a joke? I assumed it was one of those expressions like “FINE” that people give as a stock answer when they don’t want to give details. When someone asks “How are you?”, many people instinctively answer “Fine.”

Got to do something to while away the time, crossing the Styx.

Alternative: it helps to kill time.

It IS recession proof!

Welcome to The River Styx.

I hope that he had a few coins for the ferryman.

But truth be known, he would really rather not have sticky saliva on the coins!

Dad jokes never die.

Had they ever built the Trans-Styx Causeway, he could have taken an Uber.

While we’re on the subject, how can funeral parlors blame their increased prices on the cost of living?

In the last panel the angle of the pole seems to show it has separated into two parts.

But he’s very popular because people are just dying to meet him. Badda BING. Thank you, folks. The Count will be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitresses, drive safe and God Bless. Count…Out!

Charon serves well as the ferryman, but who will Cerberus when we get there?

When Dad is no longer around, you miss them, terribly.

Gotta admit, it would be hard to make small talk in that situation

“While we’re here, pull my finger.”

What happens if you fall in the Styx during the crossing? Do you die? Then what?

It’s actually a ferrily-good living. Those coins add up.

Maybe. But laundry is definitely eternal.

Whenever we visit our grandson, we try to teach him a dad joke. We were brushing his hair, and asked what side he wanted it parted on, which lead to the inevitable joke about my hair being departed.

Styx shticks?

You bet they are !

How fun was it, Charon?

He’s on his way to the Good Place. The Other Place banned laughter.

Death needs a better joke writer.

Row,row,row your boat….gently down the stream….

Whatever you do, do not pull his finger.

Who knew Charon was a dad?
