Now, go spend eternity in peace.

You’ll have no worries that you’ll see Jeremy again…

Lacey set the gold standard, and apparently Jeremy set the tinfoil standard.

Do they ever return as non-fourth-wall-breaking ghosts?

Goodbye, Lacey.

Jeremy, do go sit down and be quiet! If it were up to me, I’d eject you from Lacey’s service!

She really didn’t need to see that Jeremy is a greedy jerk.

One of my favorite cartoon arc endings … on so many levels!

I’ve never liked funerals. I’ll probably end up skipping mine.

This really has brought the worst out in Jeremy; we’ve seen him go from being clueless and self-absorbed to being an active jerk. People grieve in different ways, I guess.

If someone goes to he**, they come back as red ghosts instead of white ghosts

Jeremy just can’t stop making it about himself.

her worry is if she has too many genetic links. out of about 16 predecessors, i have 2 that haven’t died with dementia.

And, once again, Jeremy interrupts a heart-warming speech.

Jeremy may have looked after Lacey, but it’s safe to doubt if he ever really cared for her.

Props to the colorist on these reprints. Leaving the ghosts uncoloured is perfect.

Interesting … in the last panel I initially thought that was Snow Miser rather than Dick Davenport. There is quite the resemblance.
