Signs
When I was a teenager I had a recurring dream where I was going to die in April of 2005. While I don't believe in all that crazy hocus pocus, I think I will be pretty careful in April.

When I was a teenager I was sure I'd be dead before I was thirty. Let's just say that I am well into some serious gravy time now but sometimes I wonder if I am actually dead and this is hell.
Overcompensating - All Naked, All The Time.
thanks for today's strip jeff! i was going to say something on how unplausible it was, but instead i'll try and give you the impression i liked it unconditionally.
Dear Jeff,
Please do not die in April 2005. You bring teh funny and if I had not discovered your work I would be sad.
Also, my birthday is in April and losing your Overcompensation would leave me undercompensated.
Best Wishes That You Do Not Die,
Formica
yes, please don't die, at least until before tax day. that is my birthday. and i would be sad, because even though it would be my birthday, you would be dead and i would still have to pay the government. i love my topato shirt. the end.
i meant after tax day. reeeeaaallly.
Jeff, if you're gonna die, do it with style.
Like, take out a whole city block with you, or drown in a cube of green jello.
Something that'll make the papers.
Yes, please don't die. But if you've been planning on faking your own death, this is the perfect opportunity. We promise we won't tell.
your careful-ness will be your downfall! invest in hydrogen blimp fetish pornography! strap lard to your feet and run down grease boulevard! twiddle your thumbs EXTREMELY!
it will ensure you living more.
and that is good yes. now i will grunt my approval.
AAAAUUURRNGH SSKURRRRUUNGH MMUUURGH GRROOOAAAGH. BMMOOOA?
So is this "decomposing in a swamp" the top secret new project you will be taking on once Wigu has ended?
If so, I am not sure that I will enjoy it very much, although if anyone can figure out how to decompose with funnyness I am sure it will be you.
PS please make sure your putrefyin' has an RSS feed.
Ray, it is very insensitive to ssay you will enjoy Jeff's death. Especially to say that you will enjoy it very much.
Is it wrong to be aroused by a cartoon? Speaking purely in the hypothetical of course.
PS- if it is I don't want to be right
Great comic. It also raises the interesting idea that if you had a large enough readership, predicted your own death, predicted alot of other stuff, then faked your own death as planned, you would have a massive cult following. Money, women, and good times would surely roll.
I'll make a note to take you off my Blogroll if you don't post for more than a few days in April. Cheers for the heads up.
Why don't you just skip april? that'd be much easier. april cannot harm you if you don't go there. -Vi
To paraphrase Chris Rock, "if you're in a building that don't have a 13th floor, and you're on the 14th floor, you know what floor you're really on. If you jump out the window, you'll hit the ground faster."
jeff if you are actually worried about dying in april 2005 go rent hte movie "life or something like it" = i'm not gonna promise it's a great movie, but it has some interesting ideas about just that and i had a friend who was told by a fortune teller that he'd die in the second week of his 23rd year so he got all freaked out on his last birthday and i made him watch that movie with me and long story short he didn't die, so hey maybe it works. good luck! seriously, watch the movie, tony shaloub is great in it
The phrase "Tony Shaloub is great in it" is redundant and an unnecessary waste of our precious bodily words. It can more efficiently be replaced by either "Tony Shaloub was in it" (which has the same meaning), or by the International Gesture of Shaloub (see ISO 34502).
Wow. Once I had a dream that I would die if I went to Australia. And I really wanted to go, too :(
Haha. I really like this one. :) Reminds me of a book called Flashforward where everyone on earth saw a glimpse of the future twenty-one years in the future.
Whoa, freaky! You DID die in April! Holy crap!
What else can you predict? Am I wearing pants right now?
I think that was Mitch Hedberg, actually, Jeffrey.
