   I guess that depends on how you look at it.

   Yup, heaven is what you make of it, I reckon.
   Pretty much like the rest of life.

   Looks ok to me.

   Even the TV is unplugged - Wiley, you think of everything!

   Einstein declared that to believing physicists, the distinction between past, present and future is simply a stubbornly persistent illusion. Could it be that to believers in the Absolute, the distinction between heaven and earth and hell is simply a stubbornly persistent illusion? Wiley’s wisdom is Absolutely wonderful!

   “(there’s a difference)”… Spiritually !

   Yech! No coffee for me, I’ll take the little bit of drowsiness thank you.

    Thank you Wiley, for making the nitwittery of the world bearable.

    Heaven and Hades in the same place? That would be earth.

    Love all the details. One man’s heaven is another’s he11. Sometimes simpler is better!

    Could it be that Wiley was just going for the obvious joke and not making any kind of philosophical statement at all? And the answer to your question is no.

    Looks like a nice lazy day to me. Sometimes you just don’t want to know everything just as it happens, and a little disconnect is the best way to do that.

    Paying for it later , heck .

    In the Greek Text of the New Testament, “Hades” is merely the place of the Dead which is “Sheol” in Hebrew. In the book of Revelation, before the unrepenant sinners are judged, Hades and death are cast into the Lake of Fire.

    Jesus used “Gehenna” (Greek for the “Valley of Hinnom” a rubbish dump outside of Jerusalem) as a metaphor for the Lake of Fire.

    If a cell phone will work in that cafe, the man with the laptop computer could use the signal provided by a cell phone company.

    Notice that regular coffee is the “Coffee Drink Special.” The man behind the counter is not officially a barista. But, since he serves coffee and stands behind a counter, he can be called a barista.

    Anyone who stands behind a counter and serves beverages of any kind is a barista.

    Yep, Heaven and Hell at the same place alright. Heaven is reading the comics and comments and Hell is having gocomics experiencing issues. Yep it is Monday morning and it is going to be a Hell of a day.

    The world could use a couple o’ them in every town, methinks…

    Thank you for the kind words, folks.

    Please, please… no tiresome religious rants. Just stick to cartoon talk.

    the GhostPony said, 18 days ago

    I love the drawing by itself. Nice detail.

    Looks very inviting.

    ronaldmundy said, 18 days ago

    They end up where all those broken plates go after dinner. Any Ouzu drinker knows that.

    flyoverzone said, 18 days ago

    No wi-fi? No TV? Presumably also no cellular? Wow! Half the pop under 40 would off themselves in that world. Upside is the highways would be a lot safer.

25. 

    kfaatz925 said, 18 days ago

    Excellent! I’d find my share of heaven in that cafe. (Though I’d also be a little lost without my laptop, I admit.)

26. 

    Wiley said, 18 days ago

    The cartoon was not about religion.

27. 

    Joe Allen Doty said, 18 days ago

    Without the religion started by Jesus and his disciples during the 1st Century AD, most folks wouldn’t even know that heaven and hell exists.

    Since this comic strip has a title which means “does not follow,” the artist and/or writer can go off on an tangent which has no connection with real life.

28. 

    Strodgers said, 18 days ago

    Okay, here’s Religious. If God creates the Big Bang and no one is around, does it make a noise?

    SQUIDBREAKER said, 18 days ago

    @ Joe Allen Doty - ‘go to Ink Pen’ please.

30. 

    OldHipster said, 18 days ago

    The only noise in that room would be the constant moaning of “oooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm”

    Ya know? (oooooooommmmmmmmmmmm)

    ChukLitl said, 18 days ago

    The guy with the laptop is in hell because he can’t get a signal to read the funnies. The guy with the newspaper is in heaven because he can. It’s my religion, Wiley. Luvya.

    rowena28 said, 18 days ago

    @Wiley: Pleading with posters in these comic forums not to engage in tiresome political or religious rants is akin to beating your head against a brick wall. Good luck with that.

    Did Danae & Kate’s mother completely abandon her daughters? She is never mentioned, so can it be assumed that they have no contact with her?

33. 

    pbarnrob said, 18 days ago

    Or, for that matter (I’ve wondered about this, too) different mothers? They are *so* opposites!

    Trebor39 said, 18 days ago

    Just go next door and you’ve got your heaven on earh .

35. 

    rowena28 said, 18 days ago

    According to Wikipedia, they do share a mother, Jennifer Pyle, who ran off with a biker during a family holiday in NH. But don’t take Wikipedia info as gospel. Until I read that, for some reason, I had assumed Joe was a widower. Certainly women do leave their families, but it is less common than fathers doing so.

    Wiley - Ive said it before and Ill say it again - love your work

    Wiley: “The cartoon was not about religion.”

    Sorry, Wiley, You may not have meant for this cartoon to be “about religion”, but “Heaven” and “Hell” (both the names and the concepts associated therewith) are so ingrained as equivalent to “Religious” in our culture that separating them is nigh impossible. Sad, really…

    HabaneroBuck said, 18 days ago

    Fine, if this strip isn’t about “religion”, then let it be noted that the literary “Kyle” wouldn’t waste his time at this imaginary cafe.

39. 

    somebodyshort said, 18 days ago

    The tv is unpluged,
    the cafe is the No Wi-Fi but the guy has his lap top open
    the door says closed but is open
    the door handel is by the hinges
    todays coffe special is “coffee”
    the detail is blurry but it looks like the guy at the laptop has a blue tooth,
    what else have i missed

    similar joke to the right and wrong religion
    Wiley, either you’re crazy ( but a good crazy ) or you’re smoking something

    NoBrandName said, 18 days ago

    @somebodyshort: “the door says closed but is open; the door handle is by the hinges”

    It took me a while to figure out how you were seeing that. I see the door as closed - it is on the wall behind Kyle - which means the sign says “closed” on the inside, but “open” on the outside, and it also means that there is no problem with the handle and hinges. But if you see the door as open, on the wall with the “No WiFi” sign, then I can see what you are seeing. But then the door is way too big for the opening.

    Richard said, 18 days ago

    Behind that little door under and by the tv is a tough guy with a submachine gun, he is a temp for the little guard duck.

    madKanga said, 18 days ago

    Joe is clearly “off” women (my desk calendar details his ‘romance’ with Brenda) so I always assumed he was rather damaged by the girl’s mother.

43. 

    Guilden_NL said, 18 days ago

    ROTFLMAO! This struck me as super extra funny!
    
    For those that missed it - No WiFi so the Mac dude is sitting in Hell (That’s what he gets for worshipping Steve Jobs! ;) )
    The checkers guys are at a bar, BS’ing and having a blast with no need for WiFi - they are in Heaven.

    Simple as that. I need WiFi for work 7/24/365 but I sure hope like Hell that there is none in Heaven! ;-{D

    Excellent Wiley, you nailed it with this strip.

    I’ll even donate to your favorite charity for an autographed copy of this. Even if the charity is you! Guilden_NL @ Yahoo.com

    somebodyshort said, 18 days ago

    @rowena28 Dannae and Kates mother is Jennifer. Jennifer and Joe where on a trip in New Hampshire when she decided to run off with a biker. That’s all I know

45. 

    sweetlyrical said, 18 days ago

    Guilden_NL, why is wifi guy smiling if he’s in hell?

46. 

    Destiny23 said, 17 days ago

    I think that’s a goatee, not a smile.

    As long as there isn’t a radio playing, that really would be Heaven! I hate restaurants, stores, any public places where music is blaring so you can’t have a quiet conversation, or even hear yourself think. (Especially stores that will start playing Christmas carols any minute now…)

    Skyhawk_maintainer said, 17 days ago

    Radio? Probably a jukebox.
