About

Why Am I Seeing an Angel refers to an exploitable webcomic about a person in a hospital who wakes up and asks his girlfriend if he's dead. She says no, to which he says, "then why am I seeing an angel?" The girlfriend thinks this is a compliment towards her but the final panel reveals a character the man thinks is an angel over the shoulder of his girlfriend. In the exploitables, the "angel" is changed.
