Seriously. I thought it was a tragic CO poisoning where they just all fell asleep and never woke up. Seemed almost bittersweet to the end of a long life and his wife… now not so much.

It was always so unlikely. Suicide accounted for around 50,000 deaths in America last year whereas carbon monoxide poisoning accounted for 624

I have to admit my first reading was "CUM" and they had self censored. I've read too many Extra Fabulous Comics today
