Ok, we know this is weird because we usually post in fine English only but this post is solely for German speakers – who as everyone knows need humor more than any other people.

Leute, es ist soweit! Unser erster Kalender ist draußen und er ist, nun ja, ein VOLLTREFFER!

Supertyp!' und erwähnt, dass die Menschheit seit Jahrhunderten auf seine Wiederkunft wartet. Die Aliens antworten skeptisch 'Ach ja? Zu uns kommt er jedes Jahr' und 'Dann gibt's Plätzchen. Und bei euch so?' Die letzte Szene zeigt Stille im Publikum mit 'Halt mal. Was habt ihr getan?'

Meta has banned us from their monetization program for a comic where our Grim Reaper reassures a kid they won't die until they're very old, and the kid – processing this information with the flawless logic of someone whose prefrontal cortex is yet to develop – shouts "I'm gonna try heroin!"
