Taking a life is not easy. The burden wears heavy. You can see this in the driver’s worried face. Unfortunately for us, like in the Stephen King movie Christine, there are Eldritch car gods beyond our comprehension who hate things like small animals and unclear roadways. This God blesses the car (and by proxy the driver) as the check engine light was due to its lack of blood lubricant.
The possum…
But the car did not own the possum. Running it over costs nothing. Nothing was sacrificed by the car
The possum sacrificed its life
Do you understand?
I understand that ownership is not required for a sacrifice to be a sacrifice.
Some are just offerings of things because the deity wants that type of thing. Doing it at a personal cost is a subset of sacrifices.
stinky’s operating on that War Devil logic
then why wasn’t the possum rewarded instead of the car lol
the image suffers from inconsistent messaging and unintuitive conclusion
shrug

The comic is perfectly consistent, picnic.
One more time: Not all sacrificial offerings are personal sacrifices.
The possum wasn’t rewarded because they didn’t choose to be hit by the car.
the car didn’t choose to hit the possum either
Yes, it is absurdist humor and apparently not for you.
That’s not the point of the comic.
