What? Where is the explanation? I'm still not getting it

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

the saying about angels getting their halos is assumed to be a good thing, but in the comic the angels actually really don't want a halo because it is very bright and makes it hard to sleep. Unless I'm missing another layer I think the tennis is just an arbitrary angelic recreational pass time that is known for having frustrated players break their rackets.

The angel is angry because someone did a good deed and he got a halo, but now when he goes to sleep at night, the halo glows so brightly that he can’t sleep. So doing a good deed and giving an angel their halo actually ended up being a bad thing for this particular angel.
