Now he'll be scrambling through the trash cans of heaven, screeching with joy.
- Asphodel, most likely.
  
  I don't know, that little guy looks like it has guts. Maybe it earned its place in Elysium.
"He had the fucking coins, Paul!"
Was he even really dead, at least before they shoved Pennie's down its throat?
- 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
I much enjoyed part 2 and hope that opossum stumbles into godhood
- It goes to 8. The next one isn't titled like it continues, but it does. Keep clicking.
  
  10, actually. 1-9 and an intermission with a different title.
  
  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.
- Who wrote this?? Nobody says "penultimate"!
  
  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".
But what if your country doesn't have pennies?
- Then it shouldn't have opossums.
  
  But Canada.
- Do you take card?
  
  In this day and age, I sure hope Kharon would.
- Oh you’re right! Those are going to be worth something someday..
  
  Especially when they're covered in green oxidized copper.
But that’s impossumble! 😲
Don't pay the ferry man!
Ok, made me laugh XD ty.
Paw paw!
- Reeer!
Charon is such a slut. He'll do anything for money.
