IT'S TIME FOR A CLASSY NEW YEAR!!!
Formal dress! Fancy shmansy!
VOTE TO DRESS UP!!!
As for this comic...
Does this comic reveal the hidden depths of the fantastical being family tree in this universe? Are demons and leprechauns and fairies all theoretically related? IS SATAN PUCK'S SECOND COUSIN THRICE REMOVED? Nah. It was just a funny joke that came to me. But funny jokes have had lore-related aftershocks before. I dunno.

Leprechauns… if anything, Satan should have got into advertisement.. if he hadn’t already.
Has he ever watched any of Adam Sandler’s movies?
I think anyone who’s spent time in hell would be very familiar with Adam Sandler movies.
I worked for the gov’t, same thing, and I’ve never seen a Sandler movie 🙂
You know, there IS gold in the sun, which is, in a way, at the other end of the rainbow(s).
I read XKCD. Sue me.
Weird fault to have. Lucky for him though. He may never sleep again.
I could call Attorney Tom…
He just needs to get one of those biometric vaults. No code to recite.
Unfortunately, every biometric can in some way be faked.
Fingerprints are the easiest; a 1-bit (or heightmap) picture of the print can be raised onto a bit of glue or rubber.
Eye scans can similarly be printed, though you gotta get the angles just right.
Beating voiceprints was shown off on Burn Notice once.
Face scans you might need to be a bit clever about if the system wants proof of liveness, but it won’t be all that hard. Probably a mobile Geforce 5080 and a 4K display running a 3D scan with VTuber software (of course without the cel filter) will be good enough to beat the most powerful systems.
While no security system is unbeatable, I’d say a dual biometric system, combined with a physical electronic key, along with a hidden guard on watch (and woken at the start of any attempt, to be able to hit the alarm at any noticed trickery; you really shouldn’t count on the guard to already be awake and aware) should be good enough for that level of sensitivity.
Well, they CAN be beaten. But that all sounds like a lot of effort.
While Formedras is setting up his sophisticated 3D printer/mask maker, a street-wise Paul Rudd type just hits the safe in a particular spot with a bowling trophy and the door opens.
He’d figure some way out to screw it up. I’m sure he’s very creative in that field.
This security system and combination must be real easy to overcome if Traceee can get through it to claim her secret gold stash.
Also, it would be best to write the combination down in case of any changes to it in the future.
I think this is not vault failure but user failure.
Aha! So Lucky Charms are magically delicious AND evil.
Was there ever any doubt?
Lucky Charms was a new product when I was a kid, and it sucked from the get-go! Even the cornflakes with freezedried bananas were better!
Leprechauns are NOT cute and friendly. They have a mean sense of humor and like to mess with people for fun . . . .
Some bad kids’ cereals are really fiendishly tasty. Cap’n Crunch is a personal guilty pleasure. But Lucky Charms is not good. It has a boring, bland sweetness and terrible mouth feel.
Mine is Apple Jacks
Apple Jacks are a tasty option. I could go for a bowl right now.
Almost all of the ‘cereal’ bits are the same, just different shapes. You can buy big bags of just the marshmallow bits though 🙂
There’s one thing that’s a bit troubling. Sigmund. He was constantly watching Satan. Or maybe that is it, and he was only watching Satan.
I dunno.. but it’s a thought.
If you think Sigmund doesn’t know the combination to that vault, or is unaware of the fact that Tracee has been stealing from it, then you don’t know Sigmund. But Sigmund might be more on their side than it seems.
Would be funny and make an odd sort of sense if all the ‘not quite human’ characters had a common ancestry.
That’s what I was thinking.
Fairies and Devils have lot of common. You need to be very cautious of accepting contract with either. Besides, you know where Satan got the horns and hooves? It’s not from Bible. He got them from pagan god Pan … who would totally be Fae if he wasn’t god.
I am so immensely amused. I hope Satan forgives her. He should have been sharing his fortune with her anyway, and now they at least have something left!
I think he’ll forgive her. He has no choice. She has all the money.
Isn’t he evil?
I agree with the Gecko that he doesn’t have a choice. But taking advantage of the fact is just living with and it doesn’t mean forgiveness.
Community property?
Are they married? And I don’t think Ontario recognizes common law marriage.
Not yet.
You think Ontario will change their mind? O.K.
Leprechauns are also cobblers, so . . . Satan Shoes, The Baddest of Brogues, Ballet On The Bad Side, Evil Espadrilles, Lucifer Loafers Light Up The Night?
I approve of this.
Alright, I’ll take one for the team…
“He puts up with her because she’s got a pot of gold and her lucky charms are magically delicious”
Slainte!
The tastiest of breakfasts.
All major breakfast cereal mascots are all running sugar to get children hooked. Lucky is simply the European cartel contact. Tony is clearly an enforcer, Cap’n Crunch is the trarsport, Toucan Sam probably heads up the supply and Sonny for Cocoa Puffs….sadly he lost his position when got hooked on his own product. 😉
We tragically don’t have Cocoa Puffs up here. We instead have ‘Nesquik’ cereal which is like the same cereal with a slightly different rabbit. And it sucks.
Yeah, I too am Canadian, but I was going by the American cartoon cereal ads.
I used to love Cap’n Crunch cereal, but now it’s just too darn sweet for me. I don’t think it’s the passing of time, I think it’s more sugary.
The Cap’n Crunch in Canada is notably sweeter than the American version. Scary but true.
All this talk of breakfast cereals is making me nostalgic for the comic “Breakfast of the Gods” by Brendan Douglas Jones. Brilliant parody: https://archive.org/details/breakfastofthegods/book%201/
Satan’s related to fairies and leprechauns? Well, that explains THAT movie. (Maybe also why Lucky Charms cereal is so bad.)(Shudder.) I’m Irish-American, I’m not engaging in Celtic bashing. 😉
We aim for a unified theory of everything here.
If Satan is not the real Satan but a cursed fairie creature in that role it makes complete sense now.
The comment is coming…
FROM INSIDE YOUR HOUSE!
(God damn it, why am I only thinking of this right this moment as opposed to when I was actually inside your house almost a whole year ago??? La bombe atomique de l’esprit de l’escalier just hit me in the face big time!)
Delayed genius is genius nonetheless.
