Today’s Bizarro has the Grim Reaper at the cleaners, stripped to his skivvies. The lady at the counter is looking over his black robes and says, “What’s with you and the bloodstains all the time?”
How can she tell blood stains on a black robe?
A recent Bizarro cartoon shows a Grim Reaper in a tie-dyed outfit and wearing sunglasses. This is one cool dude.
A frightened-looking hippie type is looking at him aghast. The Chill Reaper says, “Dude! Why so grim? Chillax.”
Why not chill out? The fear of the unknown makes people nervous. What is outside our current physical existence?
If Easter weekend tells us anything, the dead rise again. We just don’t know where or how. Chill!
The Grim Reaper often shows up in the comics, sometimes in unusual ways.
A recent Lola cartoon puts the Grim Reaper in the pose Marilyn Monroe made famous in the movie, “The Seven-Year Itch.” That’s where she’s standing over the subway grate enjoying the breeze as the passing train blows up her skirt.
Lola wryly comments, “You should move off the grate. You’re losing the whole ‘fear’ element.”
Hey, don’t fear the Reaper!
And over in the weird world of little Lio, he’s picking up skulls the G.R. has dropped. Anyone have a clue what the joke is here?
