And the demon is conflicted. At least when you take candy from a baby the baby tends to complain.
This reminds me of a scene in King of the Hill. Wherein the husband catches his wife’s lover sneaking out at gun point. The lover begins to offer an excuse and is inrterupted by Dale ordering him to get back in there and tend to his wife’s headache.
In the words of John Redcorn: “You know, he’s taking all the fun out of this.”
I mean this demon won’t even be able to brag in good conscience, anyone could get this fool’s soul. He’s trading it away for stuff he could have just gotten if he had gone to bed and waited until morning.
Not only that, this idiot writer isn’t even thinking that the town might do something like burn him as a witch… (I mean he is looking pretty freakish about now and that’s assuming he isn’t using his blood for ink and writing himself to death by morning…)
I’m going to make this prediction. The endless ink font will similarly be of the author’s body. It will be his blood! It is technically endless, as the body produces blood, but he will write so much so fast that he’ll use up all his blood and die.
Heh, what a fool to not think there could be more to this “deal”… i wonder what happens on the next page….
My god, NO! i just caught up to the most recent page! My dearest Erin, there must be more! I’ve fallen in love with what may yet be my favorite comic yet! Know that i am truly enraptured with your story, and I will check back weekly for more!
Yes, I know what you mean. I love how different he is from the rest of the style, it looks like he functions on an entirely different plane of reality: this creature, it should not be, not on God’s earth.
Yeah, this is the difference between smart and wise. The wise would have accepted the trinket on the way home, smashed it on the way home, and dropped the bits in a pig stye.
I’m betting that once the demon owns his soul completely, he’ll lose all inspiration and drive he has to write. All of his insight and passion will by then belong to the demon and not him.
Or, even if he still has them, he can’t put it down because the ideas belong to the demon. Sort of a spiritual copyright thing.
I kinda want to see the demon’s speechlessness as the manifestation of some kind of conscience, unlikely as that might be. Or if not that, dissatisfaction with how easy his job is here. Maybe he’ll deny The Author a final bargain just to mess with him. 😉
Love the demon’s “he doesn’t know?” face. I won’t make any predictions on the next page because it doesn’t seem likely that things will simply move onto the ink for blood idea that everyone else has thought of since Mr. Author got pen fingernails. As a writer myself, I hope that what happens is Mr. Author ends up getting his entire soul back, but loses his new gifts, leaving him more cautious in the future, and working on a new story or something. Though that would be the common movie ending.
I am really, really sorry for being “that guy”. Truly I am. But after voraciously reading the whole archive in some haunting fourty minutes, I have finally found a flaw in this otherwise bewitching webcomic.
There’s a typo in the first panel, it should be “beaucoup”, not “beaucoups”. 😛
Although seriously, I never thought I could have access to such quality material for free. I am grateful, madame.
…either the demon is teaching this guy a lesson or something or the author is too dumb to be allowed to keep that soul anyway.
seems like a bro as far as cajun skullthings go so maybe it’ll deliberately misinterpret this and summon the girl anyway once he bleeds himself out from having those nibs obviously hooked to his blood supply
______________ so does the shop girl work on commission or something? or is she just that much of a dick
The last face: holy shit, how can someone this stupid exist?
Briefly.
Uh-Oh the demon is getting indefinite; “..potentially endless.” Fortunately the author is thick as brick and will soon be a good bad example.
I assume he isn’t going to pull a trick like Constantine, but eyes like that are hiding something.
When one can make a demon speechless, well, now that’s something…
Demon: “Man…should have saved this guy for an intern. They could use the experience.”
I love that last panel. Love it!

Demon says ‘potentially’ which makes me think you’re right, Gabe. 😛
I’m trying to work out what animal’s skull the demon has for a face…
It’s a horse. I think
I dont think it’s an actual animal’s skill. No nose hole.
Yarr.

I love how the demon looks almost like he is two dimensional when he is in front of Mr. Author

Or the Source of the ink could be the Authors very lifeforce. But I can’t wait to find out what it is.

I root for the daemons, personally. He should get his soul consumed.
At this point the demon has to be thinking: “Do I really want to be burdened with this idiot for all eternity?”
The Demon’sw shocked exspression is great, I mean can he claim a soul from someone who thinks so little of it?
So…. Even if he has a limitless supply of ink (blood or otherwise) the next thing he’s probably going to need is more paper.
I would like to see how the Demon gave him limitless paper. I would imagine he would have a hard time granting that one from a part of the Author
I have some ideas but they’re possibly gruesome beyond the scope of the comic.
