Description

Sure! Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:
Two figures in togas stand on the left. The first character, with a larger nose and a beard, is speaking to a second character who has a smoother face and is bald. The first character asks, "Hey, Seneca, why don't you grieve when a friend dies?"

Panel 2:
Seneca (the bald character) responds, "Thinking of departed friends is to me something sweet and mellow. For when I had them with me it was with the feeling that I was going to lose them."

Panel 3:
Seneca raises an eyebrow with a questioning expression and says, "You're imagining me dead right now, aren't you?"

Panel 4:
In response, the first character gestures with a relaxed smile and responds, "I am so relaxed!"

At the bottom of the comic, there’s a note indicating that the language in panel 1 is from the Robin Campbell translation. The comic is attributed to "Smbc-comics.com."

The overall theme humorously discusses the nature of grief and the philosophical outlook of Seneca on death and friendship.
