But what if your country doesn't have pennies?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 14 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Then it shouldn't have opossums.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

But Canada.

In this day and age, I sure hope Kharon would.

[–] credo@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Oh you’re right! Those are going to be worth something someday..

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Especially when they're covered in green oxidized copper.

"He had the fucking coins, Paul!"

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 42 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I much enjoyed part 2 and hope that opossum stumbles into godhood

It goes to 9. The next one isn't titled like it continues, but it does. Keep clicking.

EDIT: 8 to 9. There are 10, but numbered it goes to 9 in the title.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

10, actually. 1-9 and an intermission with a different title.

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I meant 9 as what the last one is titled. But I get your point

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I need more. I'm invested.

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 5 points 22 hours ago

5 is frames from a chill, slice-of-life animated feature: "4 heads are better than 1".

Spoiler: It doesn't like to be licked.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 92 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now he'll be scrambling through the trash cans of heaven, screeching with joy.

I don't know, that little guy looks like it has guts. Maybe it earned its place in Elysium.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If he didn't earn his place in Elysium, I'll kill everyone in Valhalla and then myself

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

kill everyone in valhalla and then

isn't that kind of the whole vibe? that's just, like, every day there right?

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Guy didn't get the memo and only signed for Valhalla expecting booze and hot Valkyries.

tbf those are just as prevalent.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

(pssht, don't tell them)

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 49 points 1 day ago* (last edited 37 minutes ago) (1 children)

Was he even really dead, at least before they shoved Pennies down its throat?

[–] spieles21@feddit.org 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

In ancient Greek they put coins into the mouth of dead people to pay the ferryman for a trip over the Styx to the underworld. (I think it was bronze coins, correct me pls if I'm wrong.)

So yes it must be dead in the first place.

[–] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Right but opossums are known to play dead, so they're saying that it could have been playing and they just made it choke to death on a penny

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 37 minutes ago

Yes, that is what I was saying

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I don't know why, but this made me audibly giggle. I'm not sure if it's Charon's confusion in the penultimate panel, or the possum's gleeful/eager expression in the ultimate one.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Who wrote this?? Nobody says "penultimate"!

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 1 hour ago

I wrote this. I so rarely get to use the word "penultimate"; I wanted to. It was especially cool to be able to pair it to "ultimate" meaning "last" instead of (the more colloquial) "greatest".

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 1 day ago

Last line gets me

[–] nicky7@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 day ago

I really like how the font changes in the speech bubbles based on who's talking.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think this is a series, maybe post the rest?

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is a series, you can click the source link given to continue.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 8 points 23 hours ago

After finishing the series, I am upset and I want more!

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 5 points 22 hours ago

It is! I don't want to spam though so my plan is to post the others over time.

[–] CustardFist@feddit.nl 10 points 1 day ago
