Don't do it, Mary! Don't leap into the comforting embrace of the sea

The Phantom, 8/17/23

As noted by me and Uncle Lumpy, the "Death of the Phantom" arc is, after literal years, maybe going to finally end in the Phantom's death. But not if Babudan has anything to say about it! Look, it's all dramatic and stuff if you die, O Ghost, but Babudan's whole deal is that he's a supporting character in the syndicated newspaper comic strip The Phantom! No more Phantom, no more Babudan! You think he's going to go out quietly, like Little Orphan Annie, and be satisfied by occasional nostalgia appearances in Dick Tracy? No way, buddy! That's not how Babudan rolls!
