Whenever you die, everything you say is important which is why you have to talk in capitals all the time. I think, anyway.

With your arms outstretched.

Constantly

I think it's just to stop him losing his hands in the folds. Anyone who remembers the shirts their mums used to buy them when the hurricane of puberty first came by will know what this is like.

even in heaven capslock is apparently cruise control for cool

Fantastic

A bita' metaphysical yoo-mah..

I love the idea of a ghost of a recently departed friend visiting you, and fixing your van. That's like double awesome.

How's he going to get the rag inside the truck? Will he pick up the rag's soul?

that must really come in handy

I just noticed his paws/hands are still black.

Only here. Second time out it's fixed to match.

"I DON'T REALLY REMEMBER" -- you come back from the dead, and you're still the same irresponsible careless fuckwad you were in real life.

Also perhaps still stoned.

This comic would be damn funny if it ended after the 6th panel: "Can you walk through things?" "TOTALLY" (end)

I do like this one, though. I gave it a 5

yes, he could have been cheap and split this into two strips, but He passes the savings on to us!

my thoughts exactly

I didn't scroll down at first so that's exactly where I thought it ended.

In the book it's extremely easy to read it like that, because the first six panels are on one page and you have to flip over to get the "second half" of the strip (it's very easy to miss the "continued..." note in the book).

I used to have this book of Peanuts cartoons that didn't make any damn sense. Some pages would have like two or three panels on them and it was never very clear where one strip ended and another began. It really frustrated me.

i thought that too! this one could have been split into 2 awesome strips.

It's funnier if you picture him talking in like the most stereotypical ghosty voice.

I always picture Blister as sounding very similar to the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future from Aqua Teen...a little less metallic, but a deep voice with serious tones and heavy reverb. And just like the Cybernetic Ghost, such a voice makes colloquialisms likes "TOTALLY" sound so much funnier.

i think it was blister that first got me thinking, 'damn, i could really get into this comic'

How the hell did Blister get into heaven?

Damn. Do you think Blister does house calls? This just reminded me that my oxygen sensor has needed attention for the last three months or so.

I think I may need to start going to a mechanic that has the undead on staff. This is just far too useful.

The silence in panel 5 speaks volumes. You meet a friend who has just died, you can ask him about what it felt like to die, what Heaven is actually like and if he spoke to God in the afterlife. More importantly, you could just ask if they are able to walk through things. Magic.

I love panel 5 because it features the realization that Todd is smarter than someone.

Achewood needs more Blister.

For some reason, the first time I read this, I read it right-to-left. It made just as much sense.

The first six panels are indeed quite humorous when read right-to-left. What kind of sense did you make of the last six?

Those must be some tiny tools.

I think Todd ran him over with his van, then changed the name for the song.

The first six panels alone are a five. The next six are just gravy.

blister doesnt show up enough any more

The silence in panel 5 says everything. I'm sure that if it had been Skamper who came back and not Blister, the awkward silence would have lasted several more panels . . .

MORE BLISTER PLZ THX

You know you got a good friend when they'll help clean your oxygen sensor from beyond the grave

I love Todd's reaction to Blister going into the van and the changes in the last 4 panels.

Why does he need a rag? He [i]does[i] have a robe, after all.

Alright so I know Blister does not have wings. He is dead, but he does not have wings. He has a halo. He has a robe. No wings in his spine.

Yet to this day, when I listen to "Two-Headed Boy, Part Two", I still mix my Anne Frank imagery up with thoughtful meditations on a dead squirrel.

I-it kinda changes the song?

I wish that this one was just the first six panels

Magnificent.
It's interesting how this one could work as the first 3, 6, 9, or all 12 panels.
