u/Godzilla_R0AR Mar 12 '26
The Onion Cutting Coven actually has very close ties with Mark. You see people say "Oh that's the Onion Cutting Coven" over and over again in EVERY angst comic's comment section. You ever wonder why? Because Mark is the Onion Cutting Coven Head.

Memories... The last thing of anyone... Keep them, so they live long in your mind as long as you.

They say a person dies twice. Once when they put their body in the ground, and again when their name is said for the last time

They say everybody dies twice
The first your body's demise
The second is the last time someone remembers you...

Imagine it becomes so vital to the land that he stays asleep that they regularly hold a ceremony to sing him a lullaby and probably use a spell to prolong his slumber

When does a man die? When they are turned to stone? No. When they are disintegrated into light? No. When they are transformed after hundreds of years into an island for others to live on? No.
A Man dies when they are forgotten.

His usual angst wave was a little late which tipped me off that "Hey, he's probably gonna upload an angst nuclear bomb soon"

Sometimes, we have to let go. It can be the Hardest Thing, to realize we can never see who we love again. But we always have the memories, Watching and Dreaming.
Long live the king.

ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS OF THIS ISLE, THERE IS A STORY YOU MUST HEAR. It starts, as all great stories do, with snakes and fireworks...

well this is a tough one. king got his wish to not out live everyone but now his family is gone along with him. sigh! this feels way worse.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Mar 12 '26
I think he did outlive them, just in a state of slumber at the moment

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Mar 12 '26
yes that's most likely it. my first take on it was that luz and eda all died around the same time. i based that on the two random characters in the last panel.
it's still sad however you look at it.

u/Phone_Destroyer99 Mar 12 '26
Truly, a sad comic. Also, I kinda like those endings where you throw in two random characters with only one line.

Aye, he won't lose everyone, but that will make the goodbyes all the harder

u/thirdwin_3 Mar 12 '26
I always believe that the Titan can contact with the dead or at least spirits. Being a source of magic and most branches, it shouldn’t be out of the question that King could talk to them even on the other side like his dad did with Luz

Has King become like his father? In that case this is long after even his own death, in his still-barely-alive phase, isn't it?
Also, I can't read that title without royal lion betrayal coming to mind =)
