Transcript:
Man: Excuse me, sir, but would you like to support our cause? Maybe sign some of our petitions? Mr. Death: I'm sorry. I'm not very political. Man: Oh, please, sir.. We've been here in the hot sun all day. Could you at least just wear one of our shirts or something? Mr. Death: Alright, alright, fine. This is awkward.

Very awkward.
Templo S.U.D. almost 13 years ago
awkward indeed
jeff_e almost 13 years ago
I don’t know about youse guys, but I think it’s awkward.
naturally_easy almost 13 years ago
Is death really such a pushover?
Arianne almost 13 years ago
Wow, he’s playing both sides of an issue just like a pro. And here he thought he wasn’t very political!
naturally_easy almost 13 years ago
Why not? If the president can do it….
Alohacat almost 13 years ago
Well, look at it this way, Death will have the Last word with those two, … eventually.

Death. Be not proud. If there was no life, you’d be out of a gig.
killacowinWA almost 13 years ago
Let the raging begin…
Sisyphos almost 13 years ago
Cute. Wonder if Death watches TV— Pushing Up Daisies (now dead); Dead Like Me (now apparently dead): Reaper (now mostly dead). If so, he may need to (ahem) Get A Life!BTW, those are all shows I liked….
bahramthered almost 13 years ago
You’ve made a small mistake. Mainly 9 months of invetro. That’s an extra 388800 minutes or so.
knight1192a almost 13 years ago
Death becomes less threatening with each passing strip.
Ottodesu almost 13 years ago
I’m feeling awkward, is anyone else feeling awkward?
Bilan almost 13 years ago
He looks like Death warmed over.
hariseldon59 almost 13 years ago
Now there’s an image you won’t see in Hi and Lois.
FENRISULFR almost 13 years ago
Of course, sometimes being Pro-Life ends up in Death anyway [especially if you’re an Abortionist caught by an Abortion Clinic Bomber] so it all works out. But when you get right down to it, Death IS Pro-Life. If nothing died how long do you think it would be before this planet was completely unlivable?Maybe if they had the T-Shirt in Gray or Black it would clash less with his robe? That would make it less awkward.
GypsyWoman almost 13 years ago
I love the character of Death. He’s actually pretty cool.

No matter which side of the debate you are on, this is just pain funny!
Fan o’ Lio. almost 13 years ago
Certain things seem certain: Death, Taxes, Crab Grass, Cockroaches, and Pastis.
ReneeZimbodgi almost 13 years ago
Awkward? I see why.
FENRISULFR almost 13 years ago
But some of us LIKE making idiot political/moral statements about the comics we read. That’s HOW we enjoy the comic for JUST being a comic.
Number Three almost 13 years ago
This strip will be the DEATH of me!
xxx
ccronan almost 13 years ago
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel decided NOT to print this strip and printed one from 2007.

This makes up for all the stupid pun strips. Well done, Stephan!
patsysutcliffe Premium Member almost 13 years ago
I seriously enjoyed this very funny strip today.
iFerrarifan almost 13 years ago
Now Death the Kid will shun him for being asymmetrical XD
Hillbillyman almost 13 years ago
Death flip-floped.
thelogician almost 13 years ago
Actually, it’s not that awkward. Pro-lifers are only pro-fetus. When it’s born, it’s fair game; pro-lifers are notoriously pro-execution and pro-gun. So the shirt actually works pretty well.
GrandmotherMuhawt almost 13 years ago
Loved it! The ongoing ironies in the one frame point up the paradox that so called “pro-lifers” are not really pro-life at all. Most love the death penalty, carry concealed weapons, hae threatening slogans (ie. We don’t call 911), and revel at violent sports. In this strip, the whiners (so appropriate) even coerce death to support their fictional point of view! ROFL
bmonk almost 13 years ago
I agree, though: death is not political. Death is inevitable, and doesn’t care about the laws or what party you belong to.
Zebrails almost 13 years ago
Is this a Vision of Death, or a Death of a Vision?
AASSTheGuy almost 13 years ago
haha
lin4869 almost 13 years ago
Stephan, Stephan…you have such a lovely warped mind!
HareBall almost 13 years ago
Why wouldn’t Death be pro-life, without it, he would be out of a job.
Sherlock Watson almost 13 years ago
You know, “Pro” has more than one meaning. Maybe the shirt doesn’t mean “Anti-choice,” but “Live like a prostitute.”
Mordy Levine almost 13 years ago
this gets my vote for comic of the day
Varnes almost 13 years ago
Look, the sammysuckers of the world have to make things up, rather than debate the issues, because in reality Obama is a centrist by ALL definitions…1994, Newt Ginrich: We will never win on our arguments, We have to attack their character and humanity. And it’s been that way ever since. I haven’t heard one damn thing that was even remotely true about Obama from ANY republican. Would it be wrong to call them rat finks? Who cares? You Rat Finks! ♫ ♪ ♫ "Instant Karma Gonna Get You.. "♪♫ ♪♫….
demorodney almost 13 years ago
Not as awkward as two middle-aged white guys trying to tell women what to do with their bodies!
knight1192a almost 13 years ago
Up next we’ll see Death having to give up his scythe for a bunch of balloons of some cutsie cartoon character
Nuttypearls115 almost 13 years ago
I remember when his family moved in to their neighborhood a few years ago
leopardglily about 2 years ago
No, Death! Don’t wear that! Ugh.
