Although belief in a “rapture” started in the mid-1800s, it didn’t become start to become ubiquitous until after Reagan, with the rise of the religious right. It’s possible that Kliban had no idea that some Christians believed exactly this (if you exclude all those non-Christians, of course).
Remember that episode of Six Feet Under? The one with the truck of sex dolls inflated with helium for a trade show that got hit in a fender bender, releasing the dolls? Where the evangelical sitting in the traffic jam decided to try and join them, ran into traffic in the other lane and got run over? No? Never mind then.

It’s pretty much a total vacuum up there, much like inside their heads.

I’m captivated by Kliban’s remarkable drawing style, but I almost never see the point.
