Some Like It Hot
You know what they say….when life gives you lemons, use them as fuel for the fire of hell!
That’s what they say, right?
I really don’t know what the deal is with all the hate on coal. Coal is useful. Some people really appreciate that stuff. My brother, for example, who is a blacksmith. That guy can’t get enough coal.
What a Satan-oriented Christmas this year turned out to be. Two strips in a row about the Devil. Somewhere, Jesus is crying, I’m sure. It’s funny that he has appeared in strips so infrequently but then he gets two in a row at Christmas.
The strip on Friday just got me thinking about the other aspects of being Lord of the Damned, y’know? It’s not like I know many people with that particular job description, so there are a lot of questions about it. Does he enjoy it? What does he do for Christmas? Do demons get holidays off? What was the interview like for that job?
There are just so many things I’d like to know.
Anyway, short blog post once again because I’ve talked about the Devil numerous times. He’s just such a well known character, there isn’t a whole lot I can say about him at this point. I’ll let the comic stand on its own today and hopefully we’ll get a nice blog post out of whatever madness dribbles out of my brain on Friday.
Hope everyone’s holiday season is going excellently, and that everyone’s looking forward to a New Year! I know I am!
Coal? That’s deershit. Stinks like hell.
Do we get a shirtless man to shovel the coal for us, as well, or is that favor reserved for Satan?
Shirtless men are like batteries; they’re used in the advertisement, but they are not included, they’re sold separately. :I
When I was young the practice to give cole to naughty children fascinated me. In my country children who behaved bad used to be beaten by Santa-like figure by wooden twigs, now they are threatened by probability of getting those twigs, for their parents to use. So, actually getting something, not to play and not really to use, instead of a threat of a beating was very interesting.
I have never got either twigs or cole, though.
I would like to get a Cole…
Suddenly, it all makes sense.
I guess if hell freezes over, it means Satan got something other than coal for being on the Nice List.
Hmmm… well, according to Dante’s Inferno, the deepest level of hell is supposedly frozen lake… or something to that effect.
So coal would be a good thing to have.
the best gifts are ones that the receiver would like. I got my room mate bath salts and my signifigant other clothes, more specifically pj’s. Lame right?
*buzzer noise*
nope! My roomie LOVES bath-stuff/I think she sexes the tub, and the S.O. was rather fond of the new jammies. You need to know the person. Santa knows that Satan needed coal anyway… Easy.
And why does the shovel-dude look like Blu Spy? : (
Now I will never see that guy as anything but Blu Spy. I’m not sure whether to thank you or hate you for that.
I am so glad I’m not the only person to immeditely see that man as blue spy.
Heh, wonderful.
Yep.
Have you read the Lucifer series by Mike Carey? So cool, makes you feel sorry for the ruler of Hell.
I don’t know…given the penchant of kids and their love of setting things on fire, coal is the last thing I’d want to give them if they’ve been naughty.
It’s a rock that you can set on fire. 😐
Does that mean he has been bad or good?
COMBUSTIBLE LEMONS (it just had to be said)
Now that’s a very Bishonen Satan.
