4-panel comic by War and Peas.

Panel 1: A ghost facilitator sits before a small group of other ghosts, all seated on red chairs in a softly lit pink room. The facilitator says, “Let me guess: The unfinished business keeping you all in limbo is student loan debt.”

Panel 2: Three of the ghosts immediately reply “Yes,” while one ghost sitting on the far right simply says, “No.”

Panel 3: The ghost who said "No" now looks thoughtful and asks, “Wait. Did you say student loan debt?”

Panel 4: That same ghost quickly changes its answer and says, “Then, yes.”

This comic humorously captures the generational burden of student debt, even in the afterlife. A grimly relatable take on modern economic limbo.
