Gary Larson’s iconic comic strip The Far Side, which ran from 1980 to 1994, frequently featured hell, devils, Satan, and various forms of infernal punishment, often in Dantean fashion. In one panel, Larson illustrates a projector slide reel of the recent vacation photos of a couple. Showing a picture of a grinning Satan with his arm around a sunglasses-and-beachwear-clad woman standing in front of a raging fire, the man narrates, “Oh! Now this is from last summer, when Helen and I went to hell and back.”
