The use of comic strips as cultural artifacts to identify prevailing beliefs, norms, and values has long been recognized. The recent depiction of death and grief in three family comics strips, “Curtis,” “For Better or Worse,” and “Sally Forth,” presents a unique opportunity to identify current culturally accepted attitudes toward death and grief. Implications for death education and grief counseling are discussed
