Ol' Honest Abe liked to sit with one leg crossed on his knee while watching serious plays.

And he got really annoyed when he was shot by John Wilkes Booth and had to go to the cemetery.

He did not pass Go. He did not collect $200.

Which is weird, because the play he was watching when he was assassinated was a comedy.

I'd be particularly annoyed if someone shot me in the back of the head while I watched a comedy. Particularly.

Booth even timed the shot up with the biggest laugh line so the sound would be hidden by the noise of the audience
of course the whole "jump on the stage, yell in latin, and hobble off" bit afterward kind of sinks the stealthy aspect of the plan, but points for effort, right?

I love the look Beef gives to T... all dick and such.

I wonder if Abe looked that way after he was shot -- not so much shocked as really annoyed. "Man... why you got to do a thing?"

I think he looked more like a guy missing part of his face, because he got shot in the head. Like all dead on the floor, maybe even bonked his noggin on the balcony. Lost his hat. Bleeding on his wife.

It was a derringer; also not that large a caliber to blow his face off. I saw some of that memorabilia stuff at the Smithsonian ages ago.

If I remember correctly, the bullet didn't exit his head. He also didn't die instantly - he was in a coma and died a day(ish?) later. There was hella swelling and his face was pretty grotesque, but not missing.
This is all to say, he could have given Booth a look such as Roast Beef's.

It's that thing women do, where they glare at you like you're the rude one for bringing it up.

Not only was his evening ruined, he had to make his own way to the cemetery. How sad.

Panel 6: "Dang it, now I have to go to the cemetary."
starman11 » neu1 years ago
I wish that was how people died. All "goddammit, one more thing to have to do." I can see myself sitting with recently-dead friends at a bar, them going "yeah... now I gotta go in and get embalmed tomorrow, and then I've got the funeral Friday... ugh. Always one more goddamn thing. SIGH"

"Always one more goddamn thing." This is the best thing to say after you die.
mattylite » neu1 years ago
I picture it like Harry Dean Stanton near the beginning of Fire Walk With Me, where he's all "See, that's just more shit I gotta do."

Like when you're playing Capture the Flag, and you have to walk to the prison.
I love how Beef always puts on a shirt and tie no matter what 'movie' it is.
Another one that made me laugh out loud.

John Wilkes Booth doesn't care, all hand on his hip, expression not changing. This is how I imagine it in history as well.

<-- THE
CEMETERY
derelictman » pro1 years ago
This reminds me of an early Monty Python skit. John Cleese is interviewing a very old man in a garden, and in the time it takes Cleese to say the man's ridiculously long name, the man dies. Cleese then irritably gets up, fetches a shovel and starts digging a grave. As though that's the thing you do.
It's hilarious if you see it.
