heavenly

A six-panel comic set in heaven, drawn as figures standing among clouds. A gray-haired guide woman walks a green-shirted newcomer man through the rules. She says heaven has no pain, physical or emotional. He asks if that's why everybody has sharp objects (knives, blades) stuck in them; she says yes, nobody notices. The line about losing people to fire is raised, and she explains that people don't realize they're on fire, then they're gone with no idea where they go. He asks if that bothers her, and she replies there are no negative emotions, prompting him to say 'Brilliant.' The joke is that the absence of pain and negative emotion means residents are obliviously injured, burning, or vanishing and nobody minds. In the bonus votey panel, a cheerful person whose hair has become flames and who is entirely engulfed in fire smiles and says 'Hooray!' — happily on fire and not noticing.
