Eternal Repose Eternal Repose is a simplistic and at this time a rare interaction between Brump and Stoke. Everyone hopes to die in a peaceful and painless way, typically envisioned by being in one’s sleep. This comic riffs on that wish since the Nihileafs don’t sleep and Brump won’t be able to drift from restful slumber to eternal repose (leave it to Stoke to callously point this out). Metaphorically this comic represents how we usually don’t have control over our own death, unless we commit suicide or take actions that increase our chance of death. Contemplating on how people would prefer to die brings up a memory of how I wanted to die in high school. My ideal death at the time was as a healthy ninety years old seated at a fancy dinner table during some event surrounded by loved ones and after hearing a hilarious joke I laugh hard enough to stop my heart and kerplunk into my soup – dead. – Zachary
