* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: God-Man strips are usually religious or social satire. [[https://www.gocomics.com/tomthedancingbug/2001/10/05 In a post-9/11 strip]], however, God-Man goes to straight-out punch Osama Bin Laden, with no satirical undertones. There's still a meta spin, though -- through a combination of God-Man's dialogue and narration boxes, Bolling admits that he knows his venting won't change anything.
