Gary Larson’s The Far Side: Hell and Coffee
Gary Larson’s iconic comic strip The Far Side, which ran from 1980 to 1994, featured several single-panel comics that play with the nature of hell, the devil, and punishment. They often do so in a semi-Dantean fashion, where punishment is doled out ironically. One strip, which was reprinted in 1995’s The Far Side, Gallery 5, featured the damned roaming aimlessly around a flaming cavern, whipped by devils as they refill mugs of coffee from an urn. The caption reads “Oh, man! The coffee’s cold! They thought of everything!”

Metro Station, University of Naples
“On March 26, the 40,000 commuters of Naples, Italy, who pass daily through the University of Naples metro station found that virtually every surface had been transformed into a candy-colored kaleidoscope by the American designer Karim Rashid. . . . He printed wire-frame patterns on quartz flooring, applied portraits of Dante and Beatrice to the stairs and tiled the walls with words coined in the digital age.” [. . .] –Shonquis Moreno, The New York Times, April 20, 2011
