Death gets the last laugh in regards to the GES Gospel because that "gospel" is not the true gospel, and therefore as such it is a non-saving gospel. The GES folks teach exactly what E. J. Pace's cartoon illustrates, namely that "It is not necessary to believe that Christ's body arose." That teaching was false in Pace's day (the early 20th century), and it is just as false today in the 21st century!
May God help us to proclaim the true gospel as stated by the Apostle Paul in the 1st century: "that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-5).
