Description

Here is a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:

Panel 1:

• The background features a gradient from blue at the top to a lighter blue at the bottom.
• On the left, there is a person with short, bright orange hair wearing a green shirt. They appear frustrated and are gesturing with their hands.
• On the right, there is a woman with medium-length blonde hair wearing glasses and a dark top. She looks somewhat stern or concerned.
• The text reads:
  • Person: “Look, Mom, I’m sorry, okay?”
  • Person: “All I’m saying is he should’ve specified ‘after I die.’”

Panel 2:

• The background changes to a solid, lighter blue.
• There’s a thought bubble above the first character (the same person from the previous panel) indicating they are thinking or recalling a past conversation.
• There’s a man with light brown hair and glasses, wearing a blue shirt. He seems calm and thoughtful.
• The text reads:
  • Thought bubble: “Earlier…”
  • Man: “Son, I think I’d like to be cremated.”
  • Son: “Uh… okay.”

Overall, the comic humorously deals with a misunderstanding about death and cremation.
