Without showing a face for Death, the body language has me convinced Death was completely surprised by this attack & he is thinking, "Oh cr*p! I'm in trouble now!" And I agree with The Ploughman's interpretation of the strip & why it is funny. Just have to say, I’m impressed with the artwork on this one.

I don't think this has anything to do with James Kirk, but I couldn't resist the caption. And Rob, thanks for not saying "trying to be clever."

Unfortunately, I think his wordplay sent people in a direction that they wouldn't have gone it otherwise - besides the (pretty common) name there's nothing here that says Star Trek to me. spiritcatcher, I don’t think Bill was saying it’s a Star Trek reference (if he “got” that joke then this wouldn’t be a CIDU, would it), I think he was just being clever.

Kirk!" This site never ceases to amaze me. =) Man, I post two perfectly reasonable explanations, and still people come up with “Oh, it’s James T. Kirk!” This site never ceases to amaze me. =)

It's funny to me because I'm trying to imagine the previous events that led to this panel. What did Death say or do to anger Jim? What made Jim think it was a good idea to fight Death hand-to-hand? As an added bonus, it appears that Jim CAN best Death in fisticuffs. I don’t entirely get it, but it made me laugh, so I guess it was successful.
