“Charles Dies and Doesn’t Come Back,” Smiling Friends

“Charlie dies and is sent to the underworld to cheer up the devil, who has let hell freeze over. The imagery is straight from the Inferno. Faces frozen in ice, giants, Charlie scaling down to the bottom, God’s hidden face, etc.”  Season 1, Episode 8 (2022).

Contributed by Luis E. Sanchez, Florida State University ’22
