Kenny Dies

Part 1 of the F.O.D. Tetralogy. After Kenny dies (in South Park Season 5 Episode 13), he spends a year in Hell, between life and death, trying to finally pass on. Unfortunately, he's poor and doesn't have enough obols to pay the way across the river Acheron. Will he whore his way into the afterlife, or will he end up chucked back into South Park, his own Hell on Earth?

"Kenny Dies" explores the experiences Kenny McCormick has in the underworld during his 1-year absence from the lives of Stan, Kyle, and Cartman (aside from his numerous impromptu possessions of Cartman's body). We figure out what exactly took him so long to get back after his death in South Park's "Kenny Dies" episode.

Follow Kenny through the underworld, where he is stopped by Charon from getting across the river because he is too poor to pay the boat fare; and meets the three judges of the dead, not to mention Hades himself.

Get to know Kevin Stoley, who is taken on his own adventure far, far away when he is summoned temporarily to the underworld to translate Kenny's mumblings for the gods and demigods. Too bad he couldn't bring his light saber.

Meet a few bastardized versions of Greek myth: sleazy though lovable Charon who will do anything to make an obol; underachiever Rhadamanthus who relies on fellow judge Aeacus to pick up his slack; and the whiny Minos who sends everyone who pisses him off into the labyrinth in his backyard, including anyone who glances at his daughter, Ariadne, to whose licentiousness Minos is blind.

Along his journey through the world of the dead, Kenny encounters bigotry, racism, and betrayal, even among the gods, and he soon learns that no one, by any means, goes to a better place when they're dead.

The F.O.D. series features tons of classic characters from South Park: Mr. Garrison, good ol' Randy, the Goth kids, and a shit ton more. Towelie might even pop in to say, "High!"

I dedicate this to South Park season 6, one of Matt and Trey's most notorious.
