💥💥 today is (Double) Disaster Day: (political disaster) Abraham Lincoln assassinated in 1865, (maritime disaster) the steamship Titanic striking an iceberg in 1912 (to sink the next day); and so the theme of today’s Bizarro cartoon is death, personified

A Grim Reaper cartoon meme made into a silly pun joke (if you’re puzzled by the odd symbols in the cartoon — Wayno says there are 6 in this strip — see this Page)

Meanwhile, there’s a rich world of pun jokes to be made on Grim Reaper, needing only an artist to realize them visually — among them:

Grim Reefer, Grim Reader, Grim Leaper, Grim Creeper, Grim Peeper, Grim Beeper, Grim Retainer, Grim Remainder

No doubt you can think of others. (Grim Mouser, for a cat that’s the Death of Mice, has already been done; see my 4/16/20 posting)

Title note. Death Comes for the Archbishop, a 1927 novel by the American author Willa Cather.
