Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 21, 2021

Somehow, getting “the kiss of death” from the Grim Reaper doesn’t seem surprising.

The bones floating in the water don’t help much either!

Christmas reunion

The only thing that could make death worse, getting a smooch from Charon.

Don’t Pay the Ferryman… :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kNwvIEQsg0

The days are long,For poor old Charon

With a kiss under the mistletoe: Will the Grim Reaper turn into a Prince or a Frog?

Ask him to take you to the Houseboat on the Styx…

Yup, lad – know the feeling. When carrots don’t stick….sigh!

Holly, ivy, and evergreen garlands are more festive

I think he is supposed to kiss some part of his anatomy good bye.

What? You expect twinkle lights?

Death takes a holiday…one at a time. Bwahahaha.

Aw, come on, one little kiss won’t kill you.

Kiss your ass good-bye….

Bit grim with the scull and bone floating in the river but given the river…

Get ready for the Kiss of Death and put on some damn clothes.

The kiss of death

Does the Reaper have lips?

Probably deadly nightshade rather than mistletoe.

Sorry Gilligan. That’s about as good as it gets until you get ashore.

Terry Pratchett would be proud … ;)

The mistletoe doesn’t add festivity, but there is little about death that does.

On the river Styx

You’ll know when he kissed you

It’s the kiss of death

From Mister Bone-finger

“Thanks for riding with Über Styx, and don’t forget to tip your driver!”

Even though it’s a rerun from 2017 I still had a good chuckle.

Is everyone Chyron take across naked? It kind of creeps me out that Chyron is putting mistletoe out over this naked guy, how long has he been stalking him? (His whole life, I know)

Seems appropriate, since mistletoe is poisonous.

Should have gotten vaccinated

Slightly reminiscent of Michael Shea’s Come then, Mortal. We Will Seek Her Soul.

Styx and stones may break my bones…

is naked in a boat kiss your ass goodbye

A good one!

Reaper is the kiss of death!

Forget the rowboat, I’m going to request a kayak

It’s the Kiss of Death!

Charon is looking for a new boyfriend and you’re it.

Whats the deal with the guy being naked in the first place ?

That is Charon not a reaper so much as a conveyer of souls.

The kiss of death…. Are there statistics that show more people die around the winter holidays? OBTW, HAPPY SOLSTICE, everyone! Muhahahaha…

A real Styx Shtyx

Kiss your arse goodbye!

There is always room for one more on the River Styx Cruises.

Doesn’t anyone want to kiss Charon?
