* In [[EstablishingSeriesMoment the very first comic]], ''Good Boy'', we have a little boy awakening as a ghost and realizing that he's dead. He understandably breaks down, lamenting that he [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye didn't get to say goodbye to his parents]]. It gets better when the Reaper's little "Reaper Puppy" shows up to ease him into the transition to the afterlife, though.

* ''Say Hello'': After the owners friend calls the Hamster "Lame", he stops playing with it, much to the latter's confusion. The poor thing thinks that it's somehow his fault that his human won't interact with him anymore. Although there is a follow-up exclusive to Patreon and the published book that shows the Hamster still alive, saved by the owner's older brother, that notices the little hamster dying and calls out the boy..

* ''Saved!'': The fact that the puppy dies for the sake of EngineeredHeroics is bad enough, but the real gut punch is the end… [[KarmaHoudini with the two guys who killed him being hailed on YouTube as “heroes” for “rescuing” him, no one in the comments knowing what really happened]]. Fortunately, the author then provides guidelines on how to spot a fake rescue and what to do if you suspect it.

* ''It Will Change'':
** The Reaper is called to a forest wherein he meets a grouping of owls, [[SoleSurvivor all but one of whom are ghosts]]. The one living one, having anticipated his arrival, asks him what happened to her flock, to which he reveals that the mice they had eaten were poisoned.

* ''Little Fish'': A young man takes his dog to be euthanized, something he’s clearly dreading. The dog insists on taking his little toy fish, which his owner can’t bring himself to argue with. As the dog dies, his owner stays by his side and when the Reaper comes to collect, we get this exchange:
