We all wonder what happens after we die. There are many theories going around depending on one's views, religion, and many other factors. Do we go to heaven? Do we reincarnate? Or do we just fade away into nothing? This comics artist named Jorgen Van Santen from Oslo, Norway tries to answer that question with their funny comics!
The main characters of the illustrations are a dead girl, who got hit by a bus while she was on the phone, and Death himself. They go on all kinds of adventures together, even visiting the land of the living. They meet all kinds of people in Death's realm, from animals to celebrities.

Here's what the artist told us about how they started creating these comics: "I came up with the idea for Death and the maiden back in 2016 because of a national comic contest. The contest gave me purpose and a deadline. I needed at least 15 episodes to participate. The comic made the top 5, so I kept making more episodes for fun.

"After a while, I started posting on Tapas.io and gained some followers. In 2019, I was asked to publish in the weekend section of Aftenposten, which is the largest newspaper in Norway. I still publish two episodes every weekend here. The comics have also been published in other newspapers and comic magazines in Scandinavia. I think I came up with the idea of a comic about the afterlife because I’m terrified of death and not religious."

"I actually had other plans for the dead girl (a graphic novel), but never felt ready to start the process. So now I make simple comics instead. I started posting on Instagram in November 2019, and really enjoy the feedback and comments (No such thing in paper editions of newspapers), so I guess I’ll keep at it as long as people read them!"
