So what happens if he gets mortally wounded? Or is he just safe from all bodily harm if Death refuses to take him.
>>88005403
He heals very slowly.
He managed to avoid drowning by not drowning, so...
>>88005403
>avoid drowning by not drowning
Eh, makes as much sense as avoiding death by saying nah.
He just doesn't die.
Diseases still have the same effect, but he can never die to them.
He wouldn't die, even if you killed him

So let's say his lungs collapse and his heart stops (for any reason). How does his brain function or muscles contract without any oxygen delivery or pump to circulate it?
>>88005555
Quads confirm you're overthinking a story that's more about the moral lesson than the correct use of the sciences.
>>88005555
He just chooses not to die.
>>88005579
But what is the moral lession?
I mean, even at the end of the comic he wants to keep living. Can a moral lesson work if the people it's aimed to can't physically live up to it?
>>88005403
I think it's implied that he can get fucked up but he can't die. He served as a soldier for one period because he realized that and made a shit load of money being invincible. He's also been starved to the point of death but decided he had so much to live for that he refused to die.

>But what is the moral lession?
That being alive is pretty dope and that change isn't so bad, even if it hurts like the dickens.
>>88005555
Death will simply never come for him, if he doesn't want her
but in one word: magic
>>88005677
Go to bed, Grant.
>>88005555
he says once that if the doctors ever put him under a scalpel they would find nothing weird, he just moves, even when there is nothing biochemical way to move him i guess
Death is the end of things and the begin of something new, so he is bound to his current existence and cant make a radical change. Any damage that would prevent him to be himself would be annulled
>>88006665
>cant make radical change
>was in charge of trading slaves and became rich doing that
>realizes it was wrong and is burdened with guilt afterwards
sure, the guy didnt change at all
When Death gives Madam Xanadu eternal life she says that she can die because of unnatural causes.
>>88009372
Eternal life isn't the same as unconditionally not dying.
>>88009642
She said Death won't touch her, see the second to last panel.
We are arguing about semantics here which has no point but Death herself cannot offer more to Hob than to Xan here.
>>88009776
>plis...i dont want to die...
>sure, whatever, im on a good mood today, just call me if you need me
>I HAVE BESTED DEATH
preety arrogant, the lady
>>88009928
That's Madam Xanadu for you.
I want tohang out withDeath
>>88009776
>tfw a qt death will never come and take you away from all this
>>88009776
> We are arguing about semantics here which has no point but Death herself cannot offer more to Hob than to Xan here.
By what logic can Death not offer more to Hob than to Xan? We know for a fact that she hasn't taken him for dying from unnatural causes. We can therefore assert that she has offered Hob something she did not offer to Xan there.

Dream: Death, please do not take this man until he is ready to die.
Death: Okay

Orpheus lived as a head just fine.

Demigods, though.
