Mid-week treat – Cremationism
Possibly the most thoughtful way to expire. Perhaps consider carrying around your own empty urn too.

It would have to be a fireproof urn.
You’re not wrong Dan…
I see that you got accepted at Transplant, top stuff, and quite rightly too. Congratulations.
Ooh, burn.
Sorry.
You kick ash.
Sorry again.
Welcome to this weeks pun-a-thon.
Seriously, quit it, that’s my only reason for being here.
Isn’t it better to go carbon neutral?
Hey Doug, you’re a Bierce fan aren’t you. No suprise with a comment like that.
It is a point though, carbon neutral cremations… you should get in there and patent the idea. Sure it sounds a bit gruesome, but worth a try.
This is the first mid-week treat in a while. It’s good to see them back.
lovely.
i remember the first time i heard of spontaneous combustion was when i was a kid. it was in some book my parents had: a collection of weird stuff like ghost stories and strange occurences. i thought it sounded like the coolest way anyone could hope to die. out with a bang and all that. i have to admit it’s still pretty appealing.
Same here really, my dad had a collection of ‘Man, Myth and Magic’ in our loft (u.s. ‘attic’) that I rifled through every now and again. The article on spontaneous combustion was a real eye-opener.
I just like the fact that no one is sure if it really exists, and if it does then they don’t know what really causes it… and even if they did, it would be very difficult to predict who and when someone would burst into flames.
A lot of unknowns for this glorious technological age we live in.
Saves on paying for cremation. Nice comic by the way. Thanks for the laughs.
My grandad had a Man, Myth and Magic book.
I would love to know where it ended up after my Granny passed away.
I’m guessing my aunts second hand bookshop, because I don’t think there was anyone other than me that would bother to read it. : /
