One Hour – War and Peas – Webcomic

The Grim Reaper arrives to collect a soul but finds a surprising twist involving a very pragmatic cat. A darkly humorous War and Peas comic!

@warandpeas at first i thougth the punchline was that the cat had also died but then it clicked and that was such a relief!
@apophis can you help me out?. didn't click for me, I'm still mourning for Mr Fluffles

@habercore @apophis

He’s eating his owner’s corpse, b/c Mr. Franklin died three days ago, alone in his apartment (implied that no neighbors or family have discovered that he has died).

@KydiaMusic @apophis ooooh... 😄 thanks, I didn't get that reference. It's a myth that they do that, isn't it?

@habercore @ki @apophis

Mine are all on separate special diets (and thus always trying to eat each other’s food) so they probably would gorge themselves upon my flesh purely for the opportunity to have more variety.

@warandpeas Mr. Franklin, you lived with a carnivore that is pound for pound, one of the most voracious and deadly hunters on the planet. I hope I don't have to explain further?
@warandpeas Is it because the cat figured out how to open the cabinet and get at the bag of dry food?

@warandpeas Initially read this as "three years ago" for some reason and thought the suggestion was just really sad... 😢

(Honestly don't mind the hypothetical of my cats helping themselves to this kind of "emergency ration", so long as they're eventually found and then cared for without prejudice.)
