The paragraph re. happiness with immortality should probably be deleted. Element Girl and the character from the first Death trilogy both desperately wanted to die and were unable to do so, and there have probably been other characters in similar situations in Sandman or other works. -- 24.161.108.255 05:42, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
I added a notice about the inappropriate tone because the section on Gadling's philosophy did not seem to be written in an encyclopedic manner. It seemed a bit too informal. 74.136.209.77 ( talk) 22:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. "... this may be what happens when he dies." is pure speculation. This article needs to be cleaned up. 65.175.154.145 ( talk) 19:53, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
The breakdown conforms with neither the style guide for fictional characters nor the style guide for comics. Shall I rework it? Cfsibley ( talk) 01:27, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
I can't find "No, of course the plague isn't God's punishment" in 'Men of Good Fortune', from The Doll's House (The Sandman vol. 2). Checked the whole 1389 segment, and while the plague was mentioned, it was never in those exact words. Is this a wrong quote taken from some other source, or are there different versions in print?

@ Silvermael: Just wanted to note that the plague example is not from their first meeting but their fifth, when Hob is in disgrace. "Do not be so free in assigning plagues, fires or floods to the judgement of the Lord for our sins." The same for the "make more on the dole" comment.-- Auric talk 14:18, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
