And every day is a near death experience.

No matter what time of day he is scheduled to work, it’s the graveyard shift.

Some people find that work beneath them.

I don’t recommend working at nights.

… and he’s not even the undertaker.

He’s an underachiever.

“The history of the world, my love — Is those below serving those up above! How gratifying for once to know That those above will serve those down below!”

6 feet under?

can ya dig it?

They aren’t people anymore. They’re zombies.

I saw that one coming.

And no matter how hard he works, he always finds himself in a hole.

“How’s business?” “It’s dying to get better.”

One summer, I worked at a cemetery on the grave-digging team. We all got fired, however, because they had a fire drill, and it took us two weeks to get everyone out.

ha! I knew it in the first panel… (had a relative that actually worked in a cemetery)

That is an actual quote from Bill Clinton. “The White House staff is like a cemetery. There are a lot of people under you and no one listens.”

They’re all working the graveyard shift.

Can you dig it?

That silence you hear is a missing rim shot.
