Elektrizikekswerk: /* Explanation */ Exchanged link to Death. While the Discworld Death is a nice instance of personified Death, I don't think that the comic is referring to this.

 The joke in the comic is that the shoes are so strange/creepy, that Cueball is not even sure he would want to live forever if he would have to wear these shoes at all times. {{W|Immortality}} is not worth it.
-The title text is a play on the common phrase "x is the best thing since sliced bread". The way that [[Randall]] uses the phrase in the title text humorously implies that these shoes would be almost as good to wear on your feet as two slices of bread. Alternatively, that sliced bread had long maintained superiority in being comfortable footwear before only being surpassed by these new shoes of immortality. However, sliced bread is not very comfortable to wear on your feet{{cn}}.

-[[Cueball]] is a knight that has saved a kingdom. It seems that he is being rewarded by a god, since his reward is inside a box that is floating in a beam of heavenly light. Inside the box is a pair of shoes with five toes - and with these magic shoes, he can outrun {{w|Death (Discworld)|Death}}.

 This comic refers to a new type of {{w|Minimalist shoe|running shoes}} which have very little actual support with individual areas for each toe (they are supposed to make you feel like you are running barefoot). Specifically, the shoes Cueball takes out of the box look like {{w|Vibram FiveFingers}}.
