No, and it was a jar of pennies. Hence the name Penny Tessio.
(Sorry. My favorite story/movie of all time.)

He was not only merely dead, he was really quite sincerely dead. Now only if his feet had rolled up into the shrubbery as you approached.
Shrub Guy drank himself to death? That’s exactly what THEY want you to believe. But the Truth is out there. I suggest you follow Nacho4Sara’s dream and become Inky, the Cartooning Detective. I’m sure if you investigate this case further, you will find out the guy wasn’t some random drunk, but really the head of the Research and Development Branch of the Illumanti. Which will spin you off onto an amazing adventure that includes car chases, beautiful Nordic women, and hastily drawn cartoons. Don’t let THEM fool you. Find out the truth for yourself!
You found a disreputable-looking gumdrop addict who drank himself to death on, what, Saturday?
Ummm, has Ukulele Ike posted lately?
Darn It!
I found a dead body this weekend and you beat me to it.
Now if I start a thread everyone will call me a copycat.

Are you sure he was completely dead, as opposed to mostly dead?

I enjoyed that very much, in the same vaguely creepy way that I enjoy watching Judge Judy shows when I am home with the flu.
If only this were a 60s cigarette commercial, so it could have gone -

He tied up our dogs and ambled over.
“Dead?”
“As a door nail” he sighed. “But not as dead as this cigarette!”
“Try one of mine”, replied Inky-. Their fingers touched as the cigarette changed hands - briefly, but it was like an electric shock to them both.
“Well, this guy isn’t going anywhere. What about a cup of coffee before we phone the authorities?”
“Certainly. How about my apartment - it’s right up the stairs.” The steely blue eyes of the handsome, muscular podiatrist took on a warm glow as they traversed the sleek elegance of Inky-'s magnificent form.
“Okay”, he murmured - “We can phone the police - afterwards.”
As the handsome couple disappeared into the indefinite future, filled with exciting adventure, hairsbreadth escapes, and a quick recovery for Inky-'s dad’s corns, I could have sworn the face of the corpse bore an enigmatic smile…

Did the fat kid ever find his jar of pennies?
LOL! This was my favorite part! Even though irony has become a little too commonplace for my tastes, it still produces a gem every once and awhile.
But should I expect any less from a cartoonist?
