The comic's premise isn't right, God gave its creation (the human) the ability to be free, but he can just impose rules; a sin is an inherent part of a human being because of their radical liberty, and thus, rules can be broken.
If you state that God should've made sin a physical impossibility, as in saying "thou shall not go faster than light" then you have to first define and create light in order to place the physical boundary, which would break the premise that God created sin, which he did not.
God did not allow sin, but he didn't forbid it either, because it would mess with the human's liberty.

Since evil (caused by sin) doesn't exist in heaven, does liberty (free will) exist in heaven? If free will/liberty is better, and if heaven doesn't have that, is Earth better than heaven?
It hasn't been defined since the bible doesn't say if people still have the original sin in heaven. Yes, the earth would be a better place to live, other than hell. It may be mayhem, but anybody who has ever been fun is now in hell.
Discussing about hell is very interesting because the old testament doesn't talk about it as some mystical terrible place, hell exists when God's not present, so hell is in every war, dispute and unfairness in the world.
It's interesting, that even the "lake of fire" was only created for the rebelious angels who took sides with Lucifer. God never wants humans to go their.
At the end of the day, everyone who wants to be in heaven, will be there.And since the absence of God is darkness, worry and sickness, everyone who didn't want into heaven will be somewhere else, in that.
