The Immortal Grind Comics imagine the afterlife as one big, slightly dysfunctional office. The Grim Reaper struggles with his love life, Cthulhu tries to become a better person, demons run a census, and God makes creatures on a whim.
The art is simple and round, and the jokes land fast. Below are 24 of the funniest strips, from a ferryman tempted by NFTs to a Texan who isn’t worried about the heat in Hell. Fair warning: you may start rooting for the demons.
