If Neville died in the crash, then by definition, he's the one who is late. Somewhat reminiscent of "the day the music died."

Boo! 😆

By Jove! Fearsome!

Better late than the late Neville
Not much of a moral, then, is it?

@Stilt, I just want to know: How long you have been waiting to use that joke?

Stilton Jarlsberg said...

@Sergio- I was originally structuring the gag around that other interpretation of "late," but it called for too convoluted a set-up.

@Bobo the Hobo- Trust me, I'm not proud (grin).

@TrickyRicky- Indubitably!

@DougM- "I once saw a stunted mushroom that wasn't much of a morel," - AESOP

@JustaJeepGuy- Oh, I didn't wait at all. I sat down to do a cartoon, thought of "better late than never" for no particular reason, then thought of Neville (for the same no-reason), and suddenly I had a finished and somewhat regrettable cartoon.

This comment is also better late than Neville. 'Course, I was expecting Friday's comic.
