Soup the Comic Strip by Alun Clewe
Comic strip for January 23 2024.
PANEL ONE: The champion sits on a makeshift bed in an inn room. Maiz sits on the floor nearby, pointing at a figure appearing in the center of the room. MAIZ: Hey, it looks like there's something appearing there! PANEL TWO: The transparent form of DeVallon appears in front of the champion. DEVALLON: Ha ha ha ha ha! So, at last I've found you... and I can have my revenge! CHAMPION: DeVallon! But I thought you were dead! MAIZ (off panel): Cool! PANEL THREE: DeVallon stares disappointedly at the champion. The champion's old sword is still impaling his torso. PANEL FOUR: The champion and DeVallon still face each other. DEVALLON: Uh... well, yes. I AM dead. I'm a ghost. CHAMPION: Oh... right. Hence the transparency.

For anyone who doesn't remember who DeVallon is (not, again, that anyone's reading this the day it was posted anyway, but for anyone who reads it later and doesn't know who DeVallon is), he first appeared (very poorly drawn) in the August 31 strip and died (also very poorly drawn) in the September 8 strip. (Well, technically he was stabbed in that strip, but didn't actually die until the next strip... but more on that tomorrow.)
