"Marvel Comics artist Scott Koblish (Deadpool, Spider-Man) has been illustrating his own demise for many years in morbidly funny, 4-panel black-and-white comics. He's the one person struck by a comet, suddenly overrun by a pack of baboons, resting under the precarious rock tipped by a single bird, or the target of his daughter's (of course homicidal) teddy bear come to life. Though it's always Scott on the receiving end, the comics perfectly capture that irrational feeling we all have that everything can go very wrong in one irrevocable, albeit hilarious instant. Slapstick, surreal, and eerily plausible, with extended scenarios and pops of color throughout, this collection of cosmic reckonings shows that if the end is nigh, at least it'll probably be funny"--

A little too close to Perry Bible Fellowship...

Reminded me of elementary school when friends would draw ‘Stick Man' and all sorts of ways he met his demise.

Also liked the reoccurring cat, him appearing as an artist (meta), and references to previous panels.
