    I’m guessing the black hair is an homage to Neil Gaiman’s Sandman.

      … Who starts off as a miserable ubergod (seriously, he faces down the devil), but he gets better. Eventually.

        The Endless all ARE ubergods — they’re the beings that control what gods get to do. Gods can die, despair, have destinies, and so forth. Remember the story where the characters were actual planets, deciding what forms of life they would bring forth? And what sorts of gods they would have? The Endless were at that party.

          Ian: The Endless were giving them ideas! Though I’d say Dream whupped Despair on that one (too)… the twins do seem to be a an ongoing irritation to their older brother.

        although i can’t also help but think of terry Pratchett’s discworld where the sandman, with the aid of his little bag of sand, sneaks into your bed room and sends you off to slumber.

    Now I have an old song in my head.
    I understand you’ve been running from the man
    who goes by the name of The Sandman.
    He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
    of a hurricane that’s abandoned.

      Dang, and the song that popped up in mine was a little different….

      Now I lay me down to sleep
      Pray the Lord my soul to keep
      If I die before I wake
      Pray the Lord my soul to take

      Hush little baby, don’t say a word
      And never mind that noise you heard
      It’s just the beasts under your bed
      In your closet, in your head

    I can’t help but think of the Powerpuff Girl episode where the Sandman loses it and makes the entire world fall asleep, then the Powerpuff Girls have to haunt his dreams to make him change his ways.

    Gaiman’s graphic novels are good although best read while stoned. I also recommend the Sandman Slim novels by Kadrey.

    The second panel reminds me that time is running short for me to give the Bug Martini books as Christmas presents.

    I think the Sandman is just the spokesman of the organization, there is actually a large number of Sandpeople who do the face crudding.

    And yet, I still believe his life is better than the tooth fairy’s…

      Thing I learned recently: in some countries, instead of having a tooth FAIRY, they have a tooth MOUSE. And the tooth mouse takes the teeth and builds his house out of them.

      Which is simultaneously adorable and horrifying.
