CEREBUS IN HELL? strip #11 -
Actually, this is a good example of what used to be described as The Golden Mean: that it is the obligation of each Christian to find the exact Godly balance between profligacy and miserliness and to hew to the 50-yard line as closely as possible…in no small part because the fate of your immortal soul is at stake if you guess wrong.
It's my guess that the Infernal Realms are probably chock-a-block full of Golden Mean dichotomies being unhappily misconstrued -- and unhappily enacted -- and unhappily reenacted -- as alternating polar opposite extremes. And then dismissed as examples of "S--t happens."
Whoever it was who explained the concept of "Existential Quandaries" to Cerebus didn't do him any favours, I don't think.
