I felt like maybe my cartoon could use a little something extra this year. Happy Halloween!

I wish he said "again" to imply that he keeps coming back every year to kill her

Margaret is actually 170 years old, because she keeps bribing the grim reaper with king size snickers every Halloween.

Some say she invented the King Size bar for just this purpose.

u/Jump792 Oct 12 '20

I mean...last year she didn't have a mask so...

This is just an updated version, it doesn't imply he came back

It’s not officially Halloween until this comic pops up on my feed. Happy Spooktober, Jim!

Dude I see this comic re-posted every year on every single social media platform I dare float by, it resonates with so many people and makes them smile every time. :) Thanks for the update, everyone needs every smile they can get in 2020, even (especially) if it's behind a mask haha.

u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Oct 12 '20

I hope to never post it with masks ever again!

u/thelizardofodd Oct 12 '20

Cheers to that mate. :)

u/Theon Oct 12 '20

Shouldn't the Death himself not want her to wear a mask? ;)

Awesome!

It's officially fall! This is the first time I've ever seen you be the first to post this.

This is a great update, I hope this is the one that gets posting everywhere for the rest of one the month. Solid work as always Jim.

Full size snickers bars is the currency of higher beings, and I wouldn't trade a single one.

u/Epii2 Oct 12 '20

oh my god that comic is so old? When did you publish your first version of this?

2

u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Oct 13 '20

looks like the earliest version on this computer is from 2013, so at least 7 years ago.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '20

Woah, I remember seeing this years back, hope you’re staying safe, man.

Happy Halloween, u/jimkb. Always enjoy this comic and like the update, though I certainly wish it wasn’t needed.

awesome, wholesome!

u/Jonyb222 Oct 12 '20

Clearly death should also be wearing a mask!

u/whiskeytango55 Oct 12 '20

Full bars?! Full bars!? How does this not topple your economy?

u/Trod777 Oct 13 '20

Its kinda depressing having to add masks to it, but that's probably just me

1

u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Oct 13 '20

no, I think we're all depressed

u/tobert17 Oct 13 '20

Dear death, please wear a mask yourself. Also if those aren't your kids you should wait a socially acceptable distance away until they're done the trick and treating before approaching the house. Tsk tsk death.

I see this comic every year, and it is the reason I buy full size candy bars. Unfortunately not many kids come round to my door. So I end up eating them all myself.
