Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for May 31, 2018

Never read it but i think its the fifth level.

There’s even a more hellish place far to the east.

Of course, there is a Hell and that it is in Florida is very appropriate!

You haven’t REALLY been to HELL until you’ve been stuck in “It’s a Small World” for about 15 minutes…

Not “. . . column of lost souls await . . . ,” but “. . . column of lost souls awaits . . . .” Subject/predicate conflicts rarely arise after a fifth-grade education.

You forgot standing in the sun immobile, trapped in place by an endless parade of hallucinations imagined by an opium addict.

I told Ken Fisher not to eat the brown acid…

Reminds me of Banksy’s Dismalland

Seriously, though, there’s a pretty damn convincing Disney inferno out there already. Sample (splash panel):

I’ve always been a huge fan of “The Inferno”, must’ve read it twenty times in different translations over the decades. (Only twice each for “Purgatorio” and “Paradiso”, which probably says something about me…….) I even put my parody of a hard-boiled detective, Jock Justice, into it as a tourist. But it would never have occurred to me that Disney World is already so much like “The Inferno” that little need be added. (I did love “a diminished Earth”!)

I went to Disneyland in Anaheim in 1957. And to DisneyWorld in Florida with my children some twenty years later. I loved it when I was 11 years old. Years later with my own children I saw it as a scam, a hell of long lines and commercial exploitation. We never went back.
