A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

Yet somehow still put it on over the hoodie ❓
Cloak, not hoodie.
Cloak with a hoodie on top? (no... not really 🤪)
From a practical standpoint, he needs access to the controls
It looked to me like a walkman from the 90s, where the controls are those five purple buttons between the skull looking case above them and the cord and batteries below, in the sixth panel.
But maybe in Hades' underworld the headphones have been somehow upgraded to more modern tech? 🎧
If so, I would have expected bone conduction - c'mon!!?
I'm enjoying imagining bone conduction turning the ferryman into a walking boombox.
Omg I can just picture that... maybe if you know a comic artist personally you can slip them that idea, no attribution necessary, although in the meantime we will have to simply use our imaginations! 💀🎧🤪
Inline controls were a thing but i can't see any here. I'd assume the circular part (both the skull and the buttons) are the CD unit, and it's circular because the CD goes inside and takes up the full size. It's as small as it can be while still fitting a CD.
So the controls are on the unit itself, which is in his pocket.
Perhaps for a skeleton creature, the robe functions as his skin? :-P
Gotta show off the bling
For a second I thought he was killing industries.
Damn, I can't fight that logic ❗
