Nope. He wanted to sit on the curb with his friends. The angels were protecting the holy _time_ spent with Chick tracts.

There are [nine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_%28Dante%29#The_Nine_Circles_of_Hell) or so.

Darn, if he was ever to pour a regular “Stinky” comic book, I’d buy it for sure. What’s not to love in the comical adventures of an always failing imp told by a deranged Fundamentalist maniac (actually that’s the tagline I would use for promoting the very first issue).
