Stay Away, Grim Reaper


Well, that's an enlightened view 
of the Grim Reaper, isn't it? 

But in truth, we are very afraid of him. 

Because he's coming for all of us
even though we don't want to think about it.


The Grim Reaper is often, 
for good reason, 
associated with War.



We try to deny our deep fears 
by making jokes and poking fun 
at the Grim Reaper.







But we've seen altogether too much 
of him in the last couple of years.



So let's all cheat 
the Grim Reaper 
a little longer!

  2. I didn’t see THAT ending coming. I’m now back to looking at Mr. Quincy Fluffins. Crocs would be a good idea on the Grim Reaper’s bony feet.

  5. Dang, he deserved Employee of the Year for two years running. He ought to take it up with management and see if he gets a bonus. :D

  6. Having someone escort you to the next thing wouldn't be so bad. Better image though if he'd leave the scythe at home.

  7. Very funny throughout but ending with a timely message. To bad the drooling Trump cult of personality isn't reading your blog.

    But, who says it can't be funny, amiright?

  13. What a clever Public Service Announcement. Love it.
    That pale horse and cat named Death? As precious as it gets.
    Happy Halloween, 4 days away.

  19. Glad you threw in a cute kitten on a unicorn.

  20. Hey! Crocs can be ridiculously intimidating.

    And I agree, let's get vaccinated and make good old skully have to wait another day.

  21. I’d be comforted to know that Terry Pratchett’s Death was coming for me when it’s my time… but these are some very funny versions! I especially like the kitten and the Pale Horse! Not called Binky, I assume?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Maybe the grim reaper wishes more people would get the vaccine. Possible does he/she need less of work load.
    Coffee is on and stay safe

  25. All very funny. I love the Grim Reaper. Well, as an icon. And my favourite is l'Ankou, the Breton version.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh that Grim Reaper! I love the hoax jokes! The Grim Reaper has been busy lately.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Now I know where QAnon came from.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh my, these were too funny. Especially the Wurst one. :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Blogger keeps eating my comment. These grim reaper funnies are wonderful! "Wurst" was a great groaner of a pun. And "...Just one more episode is funny and terrifying. Loved the "Employee of the Month" ending and the vaccine message. Colorado is a hot spot right now. I don't understand people! Take care, Debra!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Drat! I could not find find the Terry Pratchett quote about a man asking Death what makes life meangiful. Death replies cats are pretty good for that.

    ReplyDelete
  31. The pale horse and the employee of the month were my top picks. Love your blog.
