An SMBC comic. A yellow banner reads "SMBC PRESENTS" with the subtitle "HEADLINES FROM THE DAY YOU DIE:". Below it, a rolled-up newspaper shows a bold front-page headline: "IMMORTALITY DISCOVERED!" The joke is the cruel irony of immortality being announced on the very day you die. Votey (aftercomic): a second newspaper headline reads "SCIENTISTS: ALL DEAD GO TO HELL," delivering an even darker punchline that those who already died don't just miss immortality but are condemned.
