There are so many regular comics in my kbin/lemmy feed. Usually amusing. Most of them I enjoy.

This one I really appreciate.

It feels like it does what a joke does, but to create poignancy instead of humor.

I mean isn't Hell the spookiest of Halloween parties, given the number of skeletons?

[-] WorkIsSlow@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

When bodies deteriorate only the bones stick around. This is because only our fleshy goo travels to the afterlife.

Hell is filled with piles of goo people.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 14 points 1 year ago

big ol' flamin blobs of goo

that is unreasonably funny to me

[-] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago

Well, inside all of us there’s a skeleton trying to get out.

I think the blades on those scythes are backwards.

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

don't worry, they can simply rotate the scythe

[-] solivine@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

It'd have to be bendy too

Am I a big enough nerd to correct Death's grammar here?

Why isn't Death SPEAKING LIKE THAT.

Looks better with a serif font, though.

EDIT: Oh, it actually depends on the publisher too, it seems. In the digital ones I've read, it was small caps, but in some others it's apparently all caps.

Uncultured, clearly hasn't read enough Discworld.

[-] SeeMinusMinus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

tbh chilling in the underworld on halloween would be epic!

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I see the as an absolute win.

Did you know that every Bizarro comic has a hidden eyeball (bottom right), alien (top right) and piece of pie (can't find it in this one)?

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

please tell me this is true, I've been looking for the pie for 5 minutes now

[-] ooklamok@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Here's a list from the creator. I'm not sure if they're all always there:

"Here is the semi-official list of symbols, more or less in order of frequency of use: eyeball, piece of pie, alien, dynamite, K2, upside-down bird, bunny head, crown, single shoe, arrow in the back.

They began in 1996 when I decided out of boredom to draw a little bird sitting on a shelf where it didn’t really belong"

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Well there's an eye on bottom right, and alien top right

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

that's cool, tyvm

[-] lesnout27@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

These are examples of the secret symbols you can find in the comics a full list with explanation is on the official bizarro website

They are not all always there, just sometimes. There is a number on the signature which tells how many are hidden for each comic.

[-] ooklamok@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh! I didn't know about the number!
