Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't understand the comic, and I don't understand the comments section.

Frank is on some sort of magical flyin contraption that drops him on his head. His corpse is found by an Ogre who sells it for meat. A chicken buys the corpse who proceeds to drag it along. The devil appears, however, rather than dragging frank to hell/afterlife, he decides it would be better to be dragged around by the chicken in a car. As such, frank does not pass on into the next life and gets up. He bumps into the ogre who dies of shock at the sight of him. The ogres body collapses right by the sign, where frank - whose luck has ultimately taken quite a turn - sits and awaits a customer.

I think there could be some more lore to the devil and his behaviour since it's pretty hard to understand otherwise.

So the joke is he went from unlucky to lucky?

When you put it that way it sounds really dumb.

Not really a joke, Frank isn't that kind of strip.

If I understand the comic, I don't see why it's funny.
