As for this comic...
Here we answer the single most asked question of the arc: when is Satan getting his shadow back? It's been a source of much consternation, apparently. Well, now we have the answer. It might not be a satisfying answer, but it is an answer.
Evil requires a button press, who knew?
Apparently.
I *too* have questions.
I thought you might.
I do too. I want *none* of them answered.
What he said.
I think I might answer a few.
Ewwwwww! Are we going to need to wash our hands afterwords?
Who knows?!? The shadows knows… bwa ha ha ha ha.
I’m just glad its back. Satan and Sigmund look too much like twins otherwise, horns aside.
I hadn’t that until now. That brings up another whole set of questions…
indeed! ….maybe this is what the shadow was meant to hide all along? i mean, what do we even know about sigmund?!
Only that he has a pinched nerve in his back, loves Evil and more organized than his presumed boss.
I mean, we don’t *really* know which of them is in charge.
Shadow required, if only for aesthetics.
*Are they????*
Sigmund: to make a long story short sir, I had to reactivate a spell, to give you your shadow back.
A very complicated ‘spell’ that makes a beep.
Someone’s always throwing shade on others…
In this case, Sigmund.
I thought you had to go to Wendy Darling and her sewing kit to get your shadow back.
Hee.
He didn’t look all that bad…er, all that not evil…without it. Maybe he should’a stuck with going commando.
He might yet.
Isn’t there a saying about ‘Beware the Devil’s Apprentice’?
Pay no attention to the man in the bathroom who beeps…
OK.
So who is Screwtape and who is Wormwood in this scenario?
I don’t think he actually went to the bathroom.
dun dun dahhh!!
It very much seems Sigmund is more Catholic than the Pope . . .
It’s the wizard of Oz scenario. “”Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!” It’s just the man behind the curtain controls if you appear on film or not. Picture days would be a nightmare.
It’s a special power all its own.
In this case
The suspicion must be that Sigmund didn’t end up playing both sides, but that he set up the game in the first place and was running it too
It doesn’t take the Mr Smartypants award for the Devil to be feeling really paranoid and suspicious right now
Well, Sigmund didn’t set up the challenge. But he also didn’t do much to stop it.
I didn’t know Sigmund is so clever! I want to find out more about what caused this transformation.
Clever? Maybe not. A clever man would make it way less suspicious. But a consistent lackey.
But look at his boss.
Amongst all the questions I have regarding this event, foremost is, if Sigmund controls the shadow of damnation, why did’nt he pass it along to the cabal?
The obvious answer to me is because they were mecanoids, unable to display human emotions or sins, which is why they never displayed the commitment to evil that Sigmund desired, thus leading to his betrayal anf their downfall.
Or maybe it’s just my meds wearing off….
I was expecting it to suddenly return when the lights were out for a split second. Like the Aqua Teen Hunger Force where Shake became black (or mocha, I guess).
That WOULD be funny.
As do I little brother, as do I.
I think he’s your older brother.
“Keith” is older than Satan
Indeed. 😉 But this satan… well let’s just say I henched for HIS boss back in the day when henching was all about doing the evil without the responsibility of planning. Now, I’m old. I know a little better (not much) and I’m happy to may sure the breakers are reset. The pens for the non-Euclidian terrors are clean and provide an enriching environment. You know, non-deployment henching. And occasionally making sure that vent isn’t too obvious. (seriously you’d be amazed at the number of lost kings it takes to feed the critters)
Oh, go on you silly. Trying to make me feel young. That is thoughtful. Right now I have body parts not just filing grievances, but divorce papers, restraining orders and at least two patent infringement suits! But the eviction papers on that fungi have been posted (two nails, iron in the forehead)
Truth be told I think he looked better without it.
Not wrong.
Hey Gecko. I’m just wondering… who’s going to be Howard, and who is going to be Sheldon?
“It’s five o’clock somewhere…”
Next episode, and entire Phineas and Ferb chorus line doing “He’s got his shadow-back, shadow-back, shadow-back”….
At least Sigmund didn’t stitch it to his feet, technology sure has come a long way.
No needle and thread required.
