Yea this is clearly going to end well, all sunshine and rainbows c':

Dear diary,

today I strangled a ghost.



It was a very weird day.

Ah, Mal. Poor deranged bastard.

Dylan must be completely passed out again, what with that grab actually connecting. Here’s hoping he comes to to find that losing Jerry was just part of the hallucination

So this comic momentarily boiled down to "mine deaths are better than yours, no offense". LMAO!
For real though: With all the powers he displayed, Mal might as well be able to take over another body completely and live with it. I do not know if that sort of second chance would be even worth it unless he can also transfer his appearance. Like a Ditto. DITTO GHOST!

Hold on, so I smell the five stages of grief here? Denial just after jerry disappeared, bargaining on the previous page, and now anger/blame. :o

Next up he bleaches his hair and becomes the charlatan from Ghost Stories...
