The cards are terrifically useful provided they are not sent as sympathy cards. And I say so with deepest sympathy. They offer little in the way of actual condolence and they’re not terribly sympathetic or anything, though they might help you rejoice in life. Brief and uncertain though it may be. If you need to send a condolence to a coworker, or write a sympathy card and money is a bit tight, you could do a lot better than sending one of our cards. No, really.
I mean, these cards include one about ‘cheap body disposal’, courtesy of hyenas at the local zoo. One wonders, what is the point of such a card? And what is the point of Wrongcards, anyway? What has brought you here, to this mad place? Don’t ask me. I’m busy drawing pictures of lizard people for our Christmas collection. I know, right? I can’t believe we haven’t been bought by Hallmark yet. Anyway, my point here is, none of these Sympathy Ecards are appropriate to send to anyone who is grieving. Because that’s what I do here. If you send one of these, then - frankly - I don’t have much sympathy for you. (Though obviously, one might make the argument that I’m not good at sympathy in general - I mean, the cards speak for themselves, don’t they? So don’t take it too personally. Anyway, I have a disorder. Show some sympathy!)
I dislike funerals 'cause afterwards you have to go and mill about at someone's house and there is always potato salad covered in plastic wrap. And I really hate potato salad. But my job requires that I write Sympathy Cards, so I have to brush all the nausea under a metaphorical rug and be professional about death. Today's card? Consummate professionalism about death right there.
Most of my friends are not going to live through the impending Mayan Doomsday because they simply refuse to take my 'stop, drop and roll' drills seriously. So I'm accepting their impending deaths stoically in advance. I'm not that sad actually, possibly because I've been making sympathy cards to send to myself. Emotional intelligence makes life easier.
Today's card is a sympathy card which means you can send it to people who say they know someone who has recently died. Sometimes I suspect people make up stories like that for attention or to evade responsibilities. If you harbor doubts about someone, send along today's card and study them carefully to see if they look guilty.
