Now he'll be scrambling through the trash cans of heaven, screeching with joy.

I don't know, that little guy looks like it has guts. Maybe it earned its place in Elysium.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

If he didn't earn his place in Elysium, I'll kill everyone in Valhalla and then myself

"He had the fucking coins, Paul!"

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 55 points 5 months ago

Was he even really dead, at least before they shoved Pennie's down its throat?

[-] spieles21@feddit.org 9 points 5 months ago

In ancient Greek they put coins into the mouth of dead people to pay the ferryman for a trip over the Styx to the underworld. (I think it was bronze coins, correct me pls if I'm wrong.)

So yes it must be dead in the first place.

Right but opossums are known to play dead, so they're saying that it could have been playing and they just made it choke to death on a penny

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

Yes, that is what I was saying

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 39 points 5 months ago

I much enjoyed part 2 and hope that opossum stumbles into godhood

[-] fishos@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

It goes to 8. The next one isn't titled like it continues, but it does. Keep clicking.

[-] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 months ago

10, actually. 1-9 and an intermission with a different title.

I need more. I'm invested.

5 is frames from a chill, slice-of-life animated feature: "4 heads are better than 1".

Spoiler: It doesn't like to be licked.

I don't know why, but this made me audibly giggle. I'm not sure if it's Charon's confusion in the penultimate panel, or the possum's gleeful/eager expression in the ultimate one.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Who wrote this?? Nobody says "penultimate"!

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 4 months ago

I wrote this. I so rarely get to use the word "penultimate"; I wanted to. It was especially cool to be able to pair it to "ultimate" meaning "last" instead of (the more colloquial) "greatest".

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

But what if your country doesn't have pennies?

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Then it shouldn't have opossums.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

But Canada.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 10 points 5 months ago
[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

In this day and age, I sure hope Kharon would.

[-] credo@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Oh you’re right! Those are going to be worth something someday..

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Especially when they're covered in green oxidized copper.

[-] CustardFist@feddit.nl 10 points 5 months ago

But that’s impossumble! 😲

[-] moody@lemmings.world 5 points 5 months ago

Don't pay the ferry man!

[-] Goretantath@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Ok, made me laugh XD ty.

Charon is such a slut. He'll do anything for money.
