Had a very odd dream or maybe nightmare. (it was odd enough that I can't really tell which) The tl;dr is I discovered a standard bland-humor newspaper comic strip was actually drawn by one of the damned.
My dream started (so far as I can remember, it's dreams after all) with me rediscovering a small compilation book of comic strips from the nineties in a random storage box. What piqued my dream-self's interest was that...
...the book was printed on the ultra-thin paper pages you see used for bibles and other holy texts. The book itself was exactly as small as the first segment of a human thumb and you needed a magnifying glass to read it.
In my dream, this triggered a vague memory of a terrible puppet show live-adaptation that I watched as a child in the 1990's. The story in either case was of an obviously-gay-but-celibate priest trying to convince a SWPL-esque couple to fight demons. (the devil was a character)
...The SWPL couple did not treat the demons seriously because that "wasn't cool." I don't remember any of the actual jokes from my dream, but I remember them being painfully generic newspaper-style jokes that were incongruous with the premise.
Intrigue by the discrepancy, my dream-self looked the comic (whose name I cannot recall) up on Wikipedia and discovered it was written by a Canadian communist named "Xerah Cole" who had determined that re-inculcating belief in hell was necessary revolutionary praxis.
The article mentioned her "hacking collective" did not agree so she drew the cartoon herself. Stranger still, the dream Wikipedia article listed the comic ending in "2109" despite the author dying in 2009. My dream-self thought this was a typo at first...
But visiting the Xerah Cole article on dream-wiki informed me in blunt terms that the author herself was actually continuing to submit strips from Hell and that, due to the omnitemporal nature of afterlife, had informed contemporary observers that she had ceased drawing in 2109.
I'm fairly certain that something else occurred in my dream after that, but I do not remember it before waking up. I immediately decided to search the internet for "Xerah Cole" after waking up. No exact results were found, but the "did you mean X" returns gave me this. Wat mean?
