Death takes a Holiday. No, wait, he takes $300,000

Isn’t Courtney Love still single?

“You are invited to attend the wedding of Love and Death . . .”

My mother once knew a surgeon whose honest-to-god surname was “Slaughter”

Death takes a Holiday. No, wait, he takes $300,000

How else do you expect him to fund his holiday?
I don’t think the gig pays all the much. :wink:

Death appears on a regular basis at Irregular Webcomics.

Here’s a link to the first appearance ; you can follow the entire Death topic thread using the navigation box under the strip.

One thing everybody has seemingly missed is that Mr. Death’s ill-gotten gains were stolen from a Cemetery Association. That gives new meaning to the concept of irony!

Okay, that does it, I’m suggesting to my father that he change his last name to Death and put that on his business cards. (Dad’s a mortician)

I knew a girl in junior high school whose family surname was Death. They pronounced it “Deeth.” As if that was gonna stop the jokes.

Those who enjoy classic British mysteries may recall that the upperclass sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey’s full name was Peter Death Bredon Wimsey. Also pronounced “Deeth.” As if that was gonna stop the jokes.

My mom once worked with a Dr. Death, pronounced deeth.

‘Hello, I’m the inner nanny!’

Of course the gig doesn’t pay much otherwise: the pennies don’t come in like they used to :wink:

The Grim Reaper, Harvester of Funds.

Yes, they lived down the street from the Frankensteins. Pronounced “Frahn-ken-steen”, of course.

I thought, “Jeez, the poor guy doesn’t have enough problems, now he’s beeing ripped off by cab drivers?”

This of course would occur during a rendezvous with Death.

Did you hear about the escape attempt? It seems one of his buddies stole a tunnelling machine and tunnelled under the jail. Unfortunately, just as he reached Donald’s cell, he stopped and the attempt was never completed.

It seems he (was) bored to Death.

Eve finds all the really interesting stories.
All the good death comments are taken, so I would just like to throw in a comment on perfect names for one’s career. There’s a local Veterinarian whose last name is Bone. I think he used to be partnered with Dr. Howell.

So he made his money by stealing.

Does this mean that the wages of Death are sin[ful]?

Okay, it’s a stretch. All the good ones are already gone.
