They need to grant that wish for a cure, is what they need to grant.
Although, if terminally ill, I *might* take a Star Wars adventure over a cure, provided I got a working lightsaber for the remainder of my (admittedly brief) life. I would be able to win any argument.
“What’s that, you want me to do the dishes? I have a lightsaber, and I am terminally ill. Do them yourself.”
(Caution: theology lesson ahead!) How fitting that it’s Good Friday today. Because the whole point of Jesus on the cross was to offset our big and small atrocities (incl. lying, stealing etc.) once for all. No chance to make it up by outselves. Gotta accept the gift. Happy Easter everyone!
I thought the same thing when I read this. We don’t need to try to get into heaven or make up for past atrocities. We go to heaven simply because we accept Christ and repent our sins. Later, we behave well simply because we want to (if we don’t behave well later, we probably didn’t truly repent our sins).
Granted its to help children have dreams come true but what about terminally ill adults? Where is the make a wish foundation that grants a dying man an orgy slathered in bacon fat while dancing to Star Wars Kinetic? Not my wish but an example…
Make a wish does things for adults, too. When the doctor told my mother she had less than a year they paid for a weekend at a winter resort for my mother, father and I.
Nerd Bug’s look of shock and “Oh crap. Hadn’t thought of that” in reply to going to hell for the nun-skin lamp is hilarious. As is a nun-skin lamp. Not a real one, mind you, just this comic of one.
Real nun-skin lamp = bad.
Comic about nun-skin lamp = good fun for everyone!
One of the bonuses of “Bug” is that I get so many extra chuckles from your very clever audience. Now I save the comments for my weekend reading and it helps to pull me through.
So thank you Adam, and thank you Clever Commenters. My weekends would be joyless (as in less joy, not no joy at all. I do have a life, after all 🙂 without you!
I hear traveling the galaxy as a mercenary employed by utopian society to intervene and prevent planetary genocides is a popular way to redeem yourself for making people into furniture.
Funny, I was just pondering the other day how, thanks to its policy of only doing stuff for the terminally ill, the Make A Wish foundation is a well-meaning omen of imminent death. Once MAW shows up, that’s when you know for sure that you’re not gonna live.

The specificity of your example is disturbing. O.o
*LIKE*

Lifes easier in this department wen u already kno ur goin to hell
I’m going to boobland. Wish it was tomorrow.
Panel 3 reminds me a lot of a line from Brutal Legend, “Wait, I think I heard once that killing nuns is bad luck.”
God Bug’s “I dunno seems kinda pointless,” line is one of those “makes me laugh but I really shouldn’t for karma’s sake” moments.
sooooo…its frowned upon to have lamp shades of nun-skin? uh-oh……
Indeed.

I’m always sad when it’s Saturday.

You’re welcome, person who obviously knows that I am the cleverest of them all.
Do you need a comma after god saying ‘I dunno’? Sorry if you don’t, but it just seems wrong. Love your comic!
He is the lampmaker!
