I saw this and immediately thought Jack, even before I read the blurb. Nice job 8)

That comic definitely has a distinctive style, no question.

Good....Or bad....Good....Or bad. Why must the decisions be complex? o: I find the afterlife to be scary myself. I'm just hoping its reincarnation or afterlife and not some plain black for eternity.

Although I'm a Christian, I've always found the "plain black" nothingness a lot of Atheists talk about to be incorrect. Surely if there is no human spirit then there would be nothing at all, no black, no consciousness, nothing, like before you were born? Not trying to annoy you/be a d*ck, just find it interesting ^^

Nah, of course! I'm not offended ^^ but huh...Had no idea atheists mention that a lot. I'm kind of one of those people that would believe it if I saw it, but its not that I don't believe of a god or anything. If it was indeed plain black, it just wouldn't be right.

Cool. Maybe they don't, I've just heard it from various people, and never understood it, since if you did die and that was it, there would be nothing at all, not even black. And can humans even comprehend true nothingness? X3 I'm definitely a Christian from my own experiences and also the fact that consciousness cannot entirely be explained by the physical matter inside the brain which I believe is where the idea of a soul fits right in.

One can only imagine and pray for a way to move on. Instead of just rest in pure blackness.

Atheist, and I think the "plain black" thing is just an attempt at explaining it to those who can't grasp the concept of cessation of consciousness.

Dualism seems to have this odd stranglehold on human thought.

I don't believe in an afterlife, not in the 'real' world anyway. One simple reason - thermodynamics.

Sounds interesting, if you mean that if there is an afterlife it would be outside the physical universe/reality, then I agree. Also if there is a soul I do not believe it's something you can see/measure, since it isn't physical. I find it interesting that there's a gap in science called the Hard Problem of Consciousness which in my opinion leaves room for a non-physical human soul.

If that's what nirvana is going to be then I'd take that over being in a state of consciousness for eternity.

If good is the annoying "Uber-Jesus" sort, then evil.

Yeah, my idea of heaven is not what most Christians would associate with. You'd meet much more interesting people in hell anyway :P Being an atheist, this is of course all hypothetically speaking.

Hooray for atheism! Something we agree on!

Personally, I believe most people go neither straight to heaven or hell when they die, they go to purgatory.

At least if you do you'll end up in heaven...eventually.

You've been reading those comics haven't you? If I was in that reality, I suppose I'd end up in purgatory too... but then again I might not. It's not something I've thought about.

Actually, never read them. Most I know about them is when they are commented on trope pages on TvTropes.

You could spend hours on that site :)

>Purgatory.
Enough said. xD

Good enough for me ^^.

As an Atheist... This is the cutest, funniest, most adorable thing I've ever seen!

I'm an atheist too ^^ Cheers!

HELL AND HEAVEN !!!

Same what  InuOkami said. :D

You're soul could very well peacefully float around in space or become one with the stars which helps them to shine at night, there could be many possibilities. But right now let's just concentrate on the art. ;D

I think an interstellar trip across the cosmos would be a nice little endeavour for the start of the afterlife :P Visit new planets and stuff in a nanosecond. XD

Indeed and perhaps spot a few familiar aces along the way too.

Onward and ever on? ^^.

Sorry 'faces' and well the sky or in this case space is certainly the limit, you can't help but go onward and ever on.

They're aces too though :P

True.

Good or Bad...Decisions Decisions. :P

You did very well on this, its quite finny, hehe

Nice Touch that you did the pin prick eye for the Hell side of the pic. ^_^

I've been following JACK for...a good few years now.

I didn't catch on to the way the characters' eyes looked until a few months after I first started reading the comic. I thought it was a clever touch.

Pretty awesome, i wonder Kenny Fox face his evil twin.

It's still the same guy, and his name is not Kenny :P

Hell's Keeny looks kinda scary, can't really imagine you like that. =P

I had much more fun doing the hell side of this picture! I guess I kind of wanted to scare people a little ^^.

well done and...definitly Heaven

^U^ Too funny a pic... but, NICE deep thoughts... You DESERVE fucking HEAVEN!! XP (I don't believe in either, so I won't be going to either. XP)

I fancy heaven but only if it suits me ^_^ If not, no thanks!

Too bad we won't see each other in the afterlife... O.o

If on the off chance there even is one.

Exactly... I believe in after life, so, I WILL be a ghost who tries to help gamers BE BETTER. ^u^

I believe in science, but being in the furry fandom makes me inclined to enjoy fantasy ^^.

Lol. *HUG*

Whether it's heaven or hell! It all depends on how you're feeling!

This is an awesome pic :)

I've been a fan of Jack for a while, and your art in that style is definitely awesome :3

I've been reading Jack for a good six months now. Definitely got some entertaining story arcs :)

With all the smiles you've created over the years, you shouldn't worry too much.

i plan to become a permanent cartoon after I die.

"I'm a god!" XD

Perhaps my ashes will be incorporated into paint pigment... then I literally could become a piece of art on a painting in a museum somewhere :P

Personally I hope I end up in Heaven. I wanna see my mother and grandmother again.

I don't believe in the afterlife in a literal sense, but I do miss my grandma too. I'd lhug her again if I could.

Opt for Heaven. I hear the weather is nice.

Not if the sky is full of cumulonimbus clouds at the time ^_^

I wish people wouldn't joke about Hell, the prospect of spending eternity there is already frightening enough.

And yes, I'm a Jack webcomic fan too.

Though I imagine you'd meet much more interesting individuals in hell, I think being in heaven or even purgatory would be a much more comfortable nonexistance.

You'd meet "interesting" people in a maximum security prison too... and that's not even a junior level of Hell.

I'd rather meet and spend time with wise people who made a positive influence on those around them, lost loved ones, good friends, and the likes of Farrago and Central.

If I can get back into a job and have my life under control again I want to resume my Jack fanfic where my fursona slips out of purgatory in an attempt to rescue his adopted brother from Drip.

Oh I know what I should have said. Jack's statement here: http://www.pholph.com/strip.php?id=5&sid=1391 . "I should tell you about the last [person] who told me [they] knew what [they] were doing when [they] faced Hell. It didn't go well." (Presumably talking about Arloest here: http://www.pholph.com/strip.php?id=5&sid=456)

You do make a very valid point. I'd HATE to be in the company of serial rapists and gangsters. There are some other outcomes of the darker story arcs that I found a bit disturbing too. My favourite arcs are usually the ones with happier endings (because I'm kind of sappy like that :P) and I think Farrago and Silver Blue are my fave characters in the comic.

I too generally prefer the stories with happy endings, although I wont shy from arcs with dark endings so long as they have a sound moral message (Eg: "Hell is that noise", "Why I deserved to die" - my favorite, "Those that run", etc).

SilverBlue (what a wonderous name!) was certainly an interesting character and I wish there were more arcs involving her. I can only asume that she was redeemed some time after Hell is that noise. Despite living in the same nation as her I haven't been able to meet her as I've only been able to afford attendance at Midfur (now Confurgence) once and I didn't see her.

I noticed Silver Blue was one of the few characters in the comic to have been created by somebody other than Driprat himself. ^^

My favourite stories... "Those That Run", "Trixie And Tet", "Frightened Virgil", "Games We Play In Hell" and my favourite I think was "One Way To Win". I think the one that I found most depressing was "Dinner At Arloest's", though I didn't like how "The Hubbard" ended either. Still well played though.

Unless you count all the characters in "Those that run" of course. Plus Uncle Kage appears at the beginning of "Joann And Jeremy". I'm sure there are others too. According to posts on the forum the character being (ahem) tortured by dolphins in "Dolphins" was based on someone who gave Katie Hopkins the creeps. During one of Kage's Winestreams Dave popped into the chat and asked permission for Kage to appear in the next "Horror of Frigid McThunderbones", and Kage happily agreed. I wouldn't want any of my characters in Jack unless I wrote the story myself - I'm too particular about getting my chars' personalities right.

"Dinner At Arloest's" left me so distraught that I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue reading the comic. Then Arcaton (yes the one in "Those that run") told me that she made it back to Earth in a later arc. Another thing that facilitated this was that I was stuck on The Canadian for 36 hours near Winnipeg due to a freighter stalled ahead of us. Just myself, my iPhone and 1 bar of signal strength.

"The Hubbard" is one of a number of arcs that I just don't understand. It helped a little that one of the forumites explained to me that it's a reference to Lafayette Ronald Hubbard who founded the church of Church of Scientology. I'm still wondering though what other message(s) Dave was conveying, especially all the atrocities being committed in the background around John. Dave also uses different art styles to convey messages, and "The Hubbard" had a unique art style (which actually in some places made it difficult for me to determine what was going on).

(I was going to list other arcs I didn't comprehend, but it turned out to be no simple matter. Metaphors... Grappling with the intangible...)

I saw Kage appear in the 'Joann and Jeremy' arc too recently ^^. I figured it was him because of the wine XD

Put my face on there, and both side wouldn't change. XP


I like this

Haha XD

It's purgatory for you, Mr. Keen. XD

I'll take that ^^.

So this is how you come up with good and 'evil' bass lines..

Haha probably!

I doubt many of the interesting musicians would end up in the stereotypical heaven. Not that I'd want to hear hymns and christian rock for eternity :P Silence is preferable to that :P

so you have a dark side

All this talk of the afterlife.....
And i just thought this artwork was made by a "Guilty Gear" player when i saw the "Heaven Or Hell" tag! XD

Hypothetical of course ^^.

We're all heading for purgatory.

Heaven

Good side and a Dark side

This reminds me of a mission in Hitman: Blood Money where 47 has to infiltrate two costume parties and assassinate four targets. One is a heaven-themed party with lounge singers, lavish drinks, and sexy women dressed up as angels. The other is a hell-themed party with techno music, a giant shark tank, a pyrotechnics show, and sexy women dressed up as Satan's minions. The question is, which party would you want to attend?

Morality is doing what's right regardless of what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told regardless of what's right.

I choose heaven, because I do believe in Jesus!

Heaven or Hell?
Well, I've got a few theories:
Theory #1: The light and dark sides could potentially be filtered away from each other, so, in a way, both and neither (in entirety, anyway).
Theory #2: Well, that depends on how "weighty" the soul is, when the Incarnation of Death comes around to make its collection.
Theory #3: It could very well depend on whether one is allowed a second chance in the world of the living, to try to live a better life (as with a cat's proverbial "nine lives"), simply waiting until that time arrives...
Theory #4: If the sum of one's actions balances out evenly by the end of one's life, a second chance is given to live among the living in order to shift that balance one way or the other...
Theory #5: One's spirit continues to walk the earth if there's some sort of "unfinished business" left to attend to, and then moves on once said loose ends are tied up, meaning that one's actions post-mortem can also influence where one would end up...

*Note: With my second theory, for those who might not quite get that "Incarnation" reference, It might be advantageous to read Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series.

...Wow. Apparently, I can get really philosophical about the potential nature of the afterlife at 3:00 am. Who would have thought?...

Do you think there's any hellhounds in Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss that look like foxes? 🦊

Yes
