And as the years have gone on his comic work has become more and more a soapbox for his world views. Culminating into a book called RATFIST. Which might as well be called 'The Guide to Doug TenNapel's Worldview'. I have absolutely no faith that he can separate his work from his beliefs at this point. Which is really my problem with him.


And even going all the way back to The Neverhood, its present in his video game work. The Neverhood's story is christian allegory to the most obvious. And though its all wrapped up in its own mythology, it doesn't stray far from the tenets of Christianity.
While I'm wholly unfamiliar with his work outside of games, I didn't get a sense of a Christian allegory from The Neverhood games, at least not one that I felt was overt (and I'm never actively looking for things like that).

Then again, I'm sure plenty of people read the Narnia books without any great understanding of what's below the surface.
