Death talks HIV, guest starring John Constantine and a banana

[icon_uk]

As per ravenous_raven 's request; "Death Talks About Life"

This was released as a giveaway for use in American high schools, so I don't see a problem with posting the whole thing. If Mods feel otherwise, let me know.


















And I probably shouldn't sully this post with a cheap smutty gag, but c'mon, there are only so many opportunities for sex and banana jokes I get!

Well... this IS more apporiate then when Captain Planet talk about safe sex to us back in Grade school....

Thanks for posting. I wish Dave McKean would do more pen-and-ink work - it's just lovely.

That's NOT what you're supposed to use the ring for Wheeler!

[misterbug]

I sometimes wonder if all those blurbs and messages written in this style are dictated to Gaimain directly by Death. It would make a lot of sense.

see Icon... well not YOU icon MY ICON

[shadowpsykie]

i was wondering, could i post a link to this on my twitter account? i think it would be an interesting read and i think people on it would find it interesting, and informative.

I confess I found it online after about 20 seconds of googling, so I don't imagine it would be a problem since it's not hard to find. How they view the Batman/Robin/banana joke is another matter of course.

[shadowpsykie]

cool :D

WOW, I actually remember getting one of these comics in high school, 1992-1993...I had no idea that was Constantine, LOL!

[ravenous_raven]

Thanks for posting this! Just as amusing and straight-forward as I thought it would be. Though fifth page, panel 2 definitely made me do a double-take...despite already knowing about the banana!

Banana in the Batman XD

No matter how many times I see the Death and Constantine AIDS talk, I nevvvvver get tired of it. I just wish there were more instances Constantine gets to interact with other Endless. ESPECIALLY Death, and moreso new!Dream.

Now Robin, we don't talk about the "Batman batter"...

"This is a banana, by the way. Not an erect penis."

I eagerly anticipate the moment I can use this in casual conversation.

[merseybeatler]

Not even kidding, this was a good ten times for informative than any of my sex Ed classes.

[turtlefu]

I noticed something:
Death states that anal sex is more risky than vaginal sex. I have never, ever heard that before. Is it even remotely true, or was Neil just misinformed?

[icon_uk]

Apparently so

[greenmask]

A lady (who seemed at the time to be an old lady) showed my year (when I was seventeen, a bit late but there we go) how to put a condom on a banana.. but not in such a jaunty manner as Death does it unfortunately.

[darkknightjrk]

Yeah, you'd think that considering just how many people John has, inadvertently or not, brought people to their deaths, he would probably be pretty familiar with her. :O

[darkknightjrk]

Think that's bad? My MOM did the banana thing during her version of the talk. I mean, looking back I can appreciate it, but at the time I was justifiably mortified.

[greenmask]

..

Did you eat it afterwards?

[darkknightjrk]

I honestly don't remember that part. It was either me or mom.

[icon_uk]

Could be worse, given that the other two options would be for your mother to demonstrate the technique on your Dad (which would double the mortification) or on YOU (which would probably defy any previously known levels of mortification in human history)

[lencannon]

No, it is 100% true.

[bradhanon]

I look forward to being able to use the inverse version.

[bradhanon]

Yeah, my father put a condom on a beer bottle. In a restaurant. As though just casually playing around with the condom he'd produced to demonstrate that all sensible, respectable gentlemen carried one. A topic of conversation, BTW, that I did not introduce.

In retrospect, I suppose he thought he was being subtle.
