I guess you’d call it paranormal.
Spontaneous combustion is one of those things that is off the chart weird. Not many of us can say that we had an Uncle Creosote who went up in smoke of his own accord. It’s just one of those things that has a 1 in 10 billion chance of happening to you… yet, you STILL consider it worth the worry.
I remember watching In Search Of as a kid and wondering if I was going to burst into flame as I lie in my bed at night. Somehow, there was always a part of the body that seemed warmer than normal. I didn’t lose much sleep over it. Why lose sleep if there is no real definitive proof that you NEED to lose sleep over it?
It seems most of the cases involve smoking in bed. I would hedge my bets that smokers who like to take a puff before they hit the hay… or after certain extra curricular activities, might want to rethink that. I have also heard that an over abundance of potassium in your system could cause a body to ignite. In other words, lay off the bananas.
The coolest thing about spontaneous combustion is the hilarity of it. For some reason, human ignition is amusing at best. So, I’ve commandeered it for an Entities ‘toon. Why should I miss out on all the good spontaneous jokes about human combustion?
Poor Merv. He’s such a victim in this comic strip… Aren’t you glad I didn’t invent YOU?! That’s why I was never elected God… I am just too sadistic in regards to my own creations. I’ve got a lot to learn on this Earthly plane before they promote me. Let it me known, that I am nice to most humans and particularly animals – even the un-cute ones. I just have this thing about abusing cartoon characters… 😉
Eat Cookies, Hunt Ghosts, and NEVER spontaneously combust… plan it out first.

There has to be some kind of Equal Rights/Discrimination issue with your atitude towards cartoon characters. Must call Matt Murdock about this.
