Scratchy: {walking out of a movie studio named "Mayhem Pictures"} So long, Joe.
Joe Pig: So long, Scratchy. See ya never.
Scratchy: Ahh -- The afterlife! No more getting chopped up or hit on the head! At last, a chance to take it easy!
{suddenly, a beer bottle is flung out of a Jeep-looking car, which probably would've been better if it were drawn as a limo instead}
{The bottle crashes on Scratchy's head}
{Camera drifts into the car, where Itchy is drinking wine in front of two female mice. Technically it's implied that Itchy has also somehow died but got a better outcome than Scratchy}
{Then the car drives off into the distance, leaving Scratchy on the ground, slightly confused}
Scratchy: ?

The author writes:

I literally only edited two lines of dialogue, yet it completely changed the context of the entire panel. I rushed this one 'cause again I haven't done anything with iToons in a while.

Also, the title of this edit is a reference to the "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back" episode of Smiling Friends, btw.

Original comic: Itchy and Scratchy Comics #1, "Around the World in 80 Pieces".
