Never Been Deader follows the wildly relatable Lifeless Carl as he reluctantly journeys through the afterlife. Most of Carl’s time is spent in the offices of Afterlife Industries, where he works in the Department of Intake for the recently deceased. He is joined by his dead colleagues, who are equally reluctant to be there but are always ready to complain about their jobs over some coffee. 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.
