As an employee in the Department of Intake at Afterlife Industries, skeleton Lifeless Carl shares many of the same complaints as the usual non-deceased white-collar worker, like getting granted a half day but having to do double the work in part of the time. Luckily, Carl has his colleagues to alleviate some of his workplace anxiety, including Myrtle, his best work friend and confidant, Newbie, his often-confused trainee, and at the end of the day, his sarcastic pet cat, Furball.

MAIN CHARACTERS LIFELESS CARL Carl is the relatable skeleton star of Never Been Deader. He is just trying to make ends meet like the rest of us. Sure, he may be a little dead inside, but that’s how it goes when you are lifeless.
MYRTLE Myrtle is Carl’s coworker, closest friend, and fellow coffee drinker. She is always down for a break to discuss the day’s work related shenanigans.
NEWBIE Newbie is the newest addition at Afterlife Industries and is being regretfully trained by Carl. He tends to ask a lot of questions, but wouldn’t you, if you just died and realized you still had to work?
FURBALL Furball is Carl’s snarky feline who has no internal filter and a blatant distaste for humanity. Deep down inside, he cares about Carl, but is more concerned about when he is going to be fed next.
