I took both of their eyes that are off of their faces', in the 1st panel, to be an invisible person between them, at first glance...

Thank you for making me notice. I cannot not see it now.
Second glance for me. First was just WTF, only understood the intention on third glance.
Misread it as "The poops are rising up", which made this very confusing...
It's the same thing, dahling.
Tosses $120 champaign flute into the fireplace
The card says poops!
It's poors . You idiot!
I read the same and it made it even more hilarious
Mr Hanky was the compromise
Love his comics but the "sike" kills me
βChalmers, is that you?β
Bone apple tea, right?
Ancient GenX slang for "just kidding". Zoomers, don't let GenX make fun of you for "rizz" or whatever. They were doing shit like that long before you were born.
Huh? It's the incorrect spelling
Psych is a different word
No it isn't lol
So I'm actually right but for the wrong reasons, a sike is a small stream.
Yeah, to psych someone out was to mentally trick them. Was going to say Gen x made a TV show called Psych, but I never watched it so I'm not sure that the name corelates here
The show is fantastic
Does it hold up? Maybe I'll try it out this weekend
I've heard it both ways.
Oddly enough I don't think he was talking about a stream in this comic
Sike is on dictionary.com so its really up to the individual if "sike" or "psych" is the correct spelling
sike a less common spelling variant of psych.
That's dictionary.Com politely saying that enough people misspell it that they'll felt compelled to put it here. If your definition points to the real spelling, it's not really "up to the individual" which is the correct one.
That's dictionary.com pointing out that it is now in common enoudh use to be a word. English isn't French, we don't have a language police that comes to chop off your head if you use a newer spelling, and I don't think we should either. Sike is correct now.

Fucking shout it from the yacht tops.
If only...
This comic would be better with only three panels. I love their work, but on this one the last panel seems to think the readers are imbecile and need the action explained.
"Now Chalmers did his head in you maroon" is a fairly humorous sentence on its own.
The joke isn't that he offed himself, the joke is no one gives a shit because they're empathy-free ghouls, they're just mad at Sike guy because it has inconvenienced them.
I especially like that it's a recurring bit
You 
They really are nervous. Legitimately.
What is Maroon in this context?!
Condescending word for naΓ―ve person
Seems it has quite a few meanings, I was only aware of the explosive one, thanks!
It's how Bugs Bunny said "moron".
