Fun. Quite fun, as expected!
When Death comes for us, it is go time, but for Mort, it was a career opportunity and he took it not knowing what would happen. Mort goes from being a shy, and not talented young man, to... well, almost Death! He learns a lot while on the job, but not very respectful of rules which cause some problems. The story wouldn't have much of a plot if it wasn't that way.
Then we have Death. And guess what? Death is a decent character, and ia what it is. It doesn't bring you death itself, but sort of helps you go to wherever you are supposed to go after you die. So, show some respect. Death takes a day off, and is is hilarious when he decides a cooking career, and the cats are quite attracted to him, which is kind of endearing.
Wizards also make their appearance, one young, other very old, and they help straight things out so that Mort goes back to being Mort, and Death can take his job back and do things as they should be.
Lots of hilarious bits.
