panels 2, 3 & 4 have the usual buggish charm we find so delightful at our house. we read bug daily … have for years. avidly. fans, truly.
sadly, panel 1 was too 1939 – 1945 in NE europe for me. it reminded me of a jewish man i once met who was forced to work in the crematorium at auschwitz … he can’t get get away from the horror still.
True story. When my dad used to work at a crematorium he had to do some sort of errand on the roof(I don’t recall the details). Unfortunately, no one told the cremating guys that he would be there and they proceeded to hold the ceremony and the burning. With him on the roof.
He was wearing an all-white outfit when he went up. Came back completely black and gray, with a hilarious cartoonish puff of smoke showing up whenever he talked.
Godbug damn you Walterbug! You buggin’ bughole! Everything’s a buggin’ travesty with you, man! And what was all that bug about Vietbug? What the BUG, has anything got to do with Vietbug? What the bug are you talking about??
If you do scatter ashes, take note of which way the wind’s blowing, or you’ll get a faceful of Uncle Joe. And don’t sneeze.
I figure that you if you want to scatter ashes someplace where you don’t have permission, or don’t want to try asking, you should do it down your pants leg, the way they got rid of the tunnel dirt in The Great Escape. Somebody let me know if this works, because I may need to know.
I’m gonna get cremated. I told my wife to just flush me. Won’t hurt my feelings one bit. I know a couple who still each have their ex’s ashes in urns in the closet next to each other.
Creepy.
The volcano bit inspired me. I wanna get thrown into an active volcano. All the benefits of cremation with automatic ash scattering with no gas bill to pay!
Panel 2 was a little sad, but it made me laugh just the same. “I didn’t want to put you on the damn mantle anyway!”
It took four months but I finally caught up. WOOT!!!
vurped… is that a volcanic burp?
a vurp is a cross between vomiting and burping.

Love the title
I can see the flashing neon sign now “Necro Ned’s”.
Python did that skit.
Yay, it’s Monday! Time for a new fix after my Bug-deprived weekend
Panel 4 made me laugh really hard 
Why are the trees in panel 4 dancing?

“Vurp” is a combination of burping and vomiting a little in your mouth at the same time.
Is it ok if my favorite part of this strip is the trees in the background of panel four?
Oh man… I am going to have to find some way to work that scroll over text into my conversation today.
What did you expect from a discount urn?

Better with the “m” than without.
Isn’t it “mantle”?
Nope.
