last days of pompeii. now there was a great moment in death. i can't believe - oh, man, i - sinatra!! do you know how long i've been waiting for this? okay, okay, send 'em in. jeez. you!!! you're the customer, okay? you're about to die. it's a big occasion. a formal occasion. and as you shuffle off this mortal coil, the last thing your eyes behold is a grim reaper covered with. what the hell is that?? what?? well - whatever it is - you get that shroud to the dry cleaner asap! now where were we? oh, wait. says here he's supposed to recover. take this to dark town. sad to say, he's gonna live another forty years. sorry. nobody said this job would be easy. i beg your pardon? now what were you saying? i'd like to have a word with you in private. impostors!! get 'em!! hypnos! that little twerp! he's the one who put you up to this! head. head!! now we've got 'em. now, if i may ask - what kind of idiot sneaks into the land of death twice? oh, sure. now you're gonna tell me it was all his idea. you were completely innocent - why?? i'm a simple man. i'm just doing my job. i enjoy well - you'd need a body. if it wasn't for that comic strip of yours, i wouldn't be doing this. but a good chuckle is darned hard to come by. that one where monkeybone stole the soap cake out of the urinal - i thought i would die. de nada. now, come here. bend over. before i change my mind. i dress up when i want to make an impression. - so how'd it go? back in your head, where he belongs. no offense, stu, but on your own you're kinda vanilla. i didn't want to send you back without him. it's irregular, but. i just love that strip of yours. i figure i'll take the "family circus" guy instead. thank me next time you see me. ohhhh, hypnos??
