The operational term for the series of Tarot designs that Jason  
Halleman and I cooked up was the "Warner Brothers" or "Cartoon" deck.  
You have a long memory, I see.  However, the PFC card has other,  
different and dare I say better resonances for myself.

However, it is my goal someday -- soon! -- to come up with the Bluto/ 
Popeye/Olive Oyl "Devil" card.

My sense is that much of the ennui and despair of "V." seems to flip,  
like reversing cards in a reading, when re-examined in AtD.
