Anyone who has watched the wickedly mordant but sadly short-lived TV series Dead Like Me knows how Reapers work by touch. It is nice to see the Grim Reaper using up-dated technology, not to mention laying a pun on Karma in panel 4!
The traditional role of Death with the scythe was to harvest souls, but it looks like this version’s role is to prune them, getting rid of the “weeds”.
This is no fun – the comic has all the witty remarks, leaving nothing for the commenters.@Rx71Wm29, the Dilbert character with a spoon isn’t a parody of death, it’s a parody of the Christian devil.

Maybe the “weed whacker” is a nod to Dilbert’s version of death who carries a spoon?

Can she even die? Hmm. Also cute with the “theory” line. I guess Death isn’t gonna spill what really happens, but he knows she’s wrong!
