    I’m not a spiritual dude really, but went out a walk along my old dog’s favourite route today, from back when he was alive, and there were times I swear I could feel his presence. He was a really good boy.

    This one isn’t depressing to me. Like yeah, sad for the dog, but it’s actually a kinda uplifting message. The “second death” thing is actually something gives me comfort.

    My cat Luna died five years ago next week. She was the best cat that ever existed and there’s still a hole in my heart.

    :(

      Grief is love.

      And since she was loved, she had a good life.

      So don’t just weep that she’s gone, but also remember to smile for all the good times you had together.

      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

      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…

          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
