And the writer gave his entire soul for the three items and faced an eternity in hell writing stories……or rather in a writer’s block because his muse is giving him hell. The End.
I’m guessing, the demon offert everlasting ink… only after the deal the author discover the ink is his blood. But then he will resume writing, thinking something like “that’s cool, as long as I stop writing as soon as I feel weak it will give me enough time to make more blood, then resume writing” but won’t be able to stop himself and die. The the demon can collect his whole soul. Also, as a french I love that the demon use french expressions… is that creepy? Oh well, I always prefered villains to good guys anyway.
But the light source is behind the eyelids so he will see the back of well lit eyelids while he attempts to sleep. Darn you physics, mathematics, logic and all the other sciences, the bane of all artistic types. ie I don’t care if I gave her six extra vertebrae, I think it looks nice.
Called it! Haha the sad thing is, I wish the author would get creative. We all know he’s going to sell his soul, and sell the last 1/3 of it, but too bad it’s gonna be for ink. Although to be fair, selling only a portion of your soul is incredibly creative.
Seriously, I love this series! It’s tough to write a “selling your soul” story that isn’t cliche!
I don’t think it’s the kind of serie you finish. It’s a lot like a popular tv show or a comic book, as long there is enough peoples who loves it it will go on. Even if you kill the main caracter, (s)he will revive.
No, if it’s not the blood/ink that kill him i’m going with writer’s block once he has no soul left… or maybe not since it’s collected only when he die.
Maybe run out of paper in the morning, go to buy some since he doesn’t have any soul left to sell for infinite paper but when he goes outside everybody is scared of him and someone kill him.
I don’t think that kind of stories were usual in that era. There was hardly what we call ‘fantasy genre’ today. Besides, he’s young, not an experienced and accomplished author. For all we know, no one has ever read his stories.

Ah, the folly of ill-wishing
The demon must be thinking : this is just too easy now.
“Should I just stay?”
Hah! I love that last panel. I think the creature is the one making the writer run out of things, little by little.
The creature, it seems, likes to savour his meal.
In any stories involving Faustian deals: don’t they all?
HAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHA
SUCKED.
IN!
Mr. author is…Doooom doom de doom de de doom de doomed!!
Well, look on the bright side. You’d make a fantastic “Scary Nicole Illusion” cosplay from Dead Space….. Er… Yay?
Last panel: *facedesk* 😀
On another note, those eyes are wicked! 🙂
on his own, will he decide to use his blood? or he will be foolish enough to offer the last third for everlasting ink………

French because he’s a Haitian voodoo spirit I think. But, yes, it does add a ton of style and character to the demon.
What if he runs out of paper again 8|
The demon might start trading for smaller portions of soul, just to see how much and how grotesquely, he can change the writer
Rad! I love how The Artist shows shafts of light. 😀
I’m amazed nobody has commented this yet, but; good luck getting to sleep ever again, Mr Author.
Well not so much, when you go to sleep you close your eyes so the light wouldn’t bother him.
But the light source is behind the eyelids so he will see the back of well lit eyelids while he attempts to sleep.
Darn you physics, mathematics, logic and all the other sciences, the bane of all artistic types. ie I don’t care if I gave her six extra vertebrae, I think it looks nice.
Maybe the light source turns off when the eyes close?
When you commit to something, you have to put your *whole* soul into it! There is half-assing this at all!
*is no
got a feeling he’s gunna run out of paper with no more soul to sell.
Which brings us back to the beginning of this story.

I’m guessing his next wish will kill him.
And then he’ll run out of paper 😀
Or, even more hilarious, then he’ll finish the story and all this stuff will be useless.

… except there’s clearly a series of published volumes on his shelves in the first panel of the comic, and a kiosk of them at Boudreaux’s.
He writes pulp serials, more or less, on the order of penny dreadfuls but with better binding.
doesn’t this fall under the reliable pen thing?
…if anything shouldn’t the paper be the last thing his retarded ass trades for?
or are we going for a twilightzone ending of “its not fair. all the time and books in the world but no eyes.”
fuck it, if you’re dealing with souls just summon the story girl and be done with it
What happens when he needs food? Or heat? Or whatever??
He’s out of souls to trade.. That of his future wife? His unborn children? On noes!
