    then why wasn’t the possum rewarded instead of the car lol

    the image suffers from inconsistent messaging and unintuitive conclusion

    shrug

      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 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.
