You’re him, aren’t you?

Where’s the robe? Where’s the scythe?
DEATH
Oh, uh…I’m trying something new.

OLD MAN
Well, it sucks.
DEATH
That’s harsh.
Panel 4: The mailbox sits quietly nearby, flag up, ready to be emptied.
OLD MAN
Did I hurt your little feelings? Is wee Death going to cry? Boo hoo!
Death
The kid in the shop said I looked cool.
Panel 5: The stone chimney of the old house stands patiently, awaiting the smoke from a warm winter fire.
OLD MAN
He lied! HA HA HA HA HA
DEATH
I’m beginning to understand why your wife poisoned your tea.

OLD MAN
You enjoyed that, didn’t you?
DEATH
Not as much as this next bit.

Why? What’s the next bit?

It’s nothing.
