I’m pretty sure I’d be the guy at the funeral who starts applauding the trick…only to have everyone stare at me…until I awkwardly stop applauding and stare at the floor.
I’ve been that guy several times. The trick is to look at your watch and yell “Whoa, my silverware is still in the oven!” and run out. People will be too curious as to what you meant to be mad at you.
Aren’t things like that covered in a basic course on Funeral Etiquett. Maybe someone should write a book about these type things that could become a social… as well as legal..liability.
I may be morbid for reading it, but I agree it is more safer and there is less room for error.
Though how would a saw work on one of those metal coffins?
-wait, it’s a saw, so scratch that.
yeah, see… it really is. The last time I did that it was pretty cool though, as the both halves of the “victim” proceeded to do a ta-daaa! thingy. Only the lower half was just this kinda shuffling gurgle, and the upper half was more sort of “braaaaaaainth!” But anyway, I digress. My magic show is now banned from Racoon City, by public ordinance.
Hey Jason that’s awesome, but I can’t accept free money, so if you buy something from the store that would work fantastically. If those are too expensive, FYI I’ll be putting cheaper stuff in the store soon, $5-$10 including shipping. Thanks for the support!
Hey Dan, saw your comment about buying stuff from the store, I’ve not seen a store link, but I think tops would be a fantastic thing to sell, Woody After Hours does the tops, they’d be funny!

Yes, that is indeed frowned upon… the formaldehyde smell will clean out a room in seconds.
Way to make the comic even more morbid!

Hahaha, I loved the air quotes. I’m going to abuse them today. My poor colleagues
This is the first use of air quotes in EQComics history, and I enjoy it.

If only he had chosen the trick of pulling an endless string of tied-together hankies out of the pocket of the recently departed.
There would be much less emotionally scarred children that way.

The key is can he put it back together.
That would be a trick.

He should of done the pull-the-dead-guy-out-of-the-coffin trick. Way more simpler.
P.S. It’s a reference to pulling the rabbit out of the hat trick, for those of you that don’t get the joke. Funny, right? Right!?
I got it!

I sure hope the next contest isn’t to reproduce this on camera…
Ooh, interesting idea. I’ll noodle that one.

Oh, GOD…at least he didn’t treat it like a buffet!
At a zombie funeral, this would be the case.

I will commission somebody for five bucks for such a book to be written. I’ll do the illustrations. Who’s in! FIVE BUCKS

Been there, done that. my only regret was that it wasn’t a closed casket. super glu works for putting it back together, though.
Words of wisdom everyone!

Words of wisdom. Being accustomed to read manga (or read some before reading a comic strip) can ruin a punchline

OMG! So very true >.< I do that a lot with web comics, I still laugh all the same though!
Pajama Forest is one where it's okay to read the punchline first though! ^_^
Ooh, yeah, with my comics, 75% of them are ruined if you even *look* at the last panel first, let alone read the dialogue. No good.

Diamond-studded chainsaw for metal coffins! That would be a fantastic funeral to attend.

Who banned it? The zombies or the nuke that destroyed the city?
Hooray to the gruesome description, Exigaen, and for the coincidentally matching avatars JackXD

I could see where it would be a distraction, especially during the eulogy
A fantastic eulogy it would be, though.

It’s even worse when it’s not the deceased who gets sawed in half.
