1 Head Death: So what are you going to do? Go on strike? Ho ho ho ho...
2 Death of Insanely Overpowered Fireballs: Okay then. We're going on strike. Me and all the other Deaths. They're with me on this.
3 {silent beat}
4 Head Death: {mildly} That wasn't a suggestion, you know.

I struggled for literally hours coming up with something for this strip. I knew I wanted to have Insanely Overpowered Fireballs declare the intention of all the Deaths to go on strike, but I couldn't come up with anything funny for ages. In the end I went with this fairly low-key response by the Head Death, which I think works quite well.

2014-06-27 Rerun commentary: The moral is, I suppose, be careful what you express a sarcastic desire for.

I wonder how the Head Death would adjust if he had to give up his own private office and work in an open plan office.
