Comic written and illustrated by Ryan Reid

…and then the first crow says “So, what happened to all his hats?”! Ha,ha!
Panel 2: DEATH and a GHOST exit through the back door of THE COMEDY PLACE into the ALLEY.
GHOST

DEATH (Unconvinced the joke was funny)

Panel 3: DEATH and GHOST walk the ALLEY.

Hee, hee, hee, hee!

Get it? Because you’re dead.
GHOST (Annoyed)
