Because It Sounds Pretty Fatal
I was like, 'go for an older sketch first, or a newer one?' And I went for newer because the older ones make me cry. And whee I like this one! Blacky looks cute in the first frame (but weird in the second) and Donar gets to be a doctor.
The real big question is, if Donar died (which he did, properly, not like Blacky), how did he become a doctor five years later? MYSTERY OMG ... and speaking of mysteries, for some mysterious reason the sweater Donar always wears hasn't got the design it always has. SOMEBODY CALL IN SHERLOCK HOLMES, THIS COULD GET MESSY.
If you can't read this dialogue, it runs like this:
Blacky: Didn't you die?
Donar: It's not as glamarous as it sounds.
Five Years Later
Donar: I may be going out on a limb here, but didn't you die?
Blacky: It's not as fatal as it sounds.
Fanta looked at him bleakly, his face colourless. "Jester... Donar got shot twice in the chest. He's dead."
"Oh." It was expressionless, a blank concession.
"We... we'll have the funeral tomorrow."
"Alright."
Fanta peered into Jester's face. "Do you even hear me?"
His gaze drifted up slowly; the moment it rested on Fanta, his entire face crumpled. "Yes."
