The Circle of Life

This is probably the easiest concept to understand in regards to my take on the final stages of a cartoon character's life.

1. Grow Old...and be stuck in a "Retirement Center" (I will be skipping this part personally, as I have five daughters...five college educations...five weddings...etc. So I will never be able to "retire").

2. You Die. Get planted in the Cemetery where you may or may not come back as a Zombie for a second run at terrorizing your kids.

3. You come back as a ghost in the Haunted House.

If you are lucky enough to wander all the way over to the Buddhist Temple across town, you may get to be reincarnated...but in the case of Simpson's Tapped Out...you will most likely come back as one of the hapless souls who cycles continually on the Staircase to Nowhere.
