      It’s based on a quote from Terry Pratchett’s Reaper Man.

      No-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine they made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.

        How can you be so sure this is a Pratchett quote? The same phrasing and paraphrased versions were used by so many people. From Hemingway to Marcus Aurelius and I think even further back to ancient Egypt. I’m always baffled when people so easily and confidently state things as fact, like you…

        That’s not as depressing as one would expect from Cynide & Happiness.

          Tbf the other comics are edgy to a point where it becomes funny. I’ve been expecting some outrageous twist in the last panel, but he’s just missing his dog. So yeah this is an unexpected 10/10 and kick you right in the feels because it makes you remember names. Well played sir cyanide&happiness

      Not only eill the owner remember the name but every sexual partner will have the name Luna in their brain for a while and also the mortician will probably remember Luna for quite some time.

      This is really a long play
