I must admit, I have no clue what's going on here. I do like how the comic look tho
Don't worry, I'm lost with everything loading completely fine. It looks like the kitty is demonic and got sliced by the nails but it's still alive and super happy that he has a friend? It's a little confusing, especially the part where he squished the cats head in
A Summary of This Comic, for Those with Some Free Time:
Satan adores the adorableness of his cat. Charcoal is so cute, Satan wants to squish Charcoal’s little face. And he does. Which is a problem because Satan, in fact, did not want to squish Charcoal’s little face.
While holding hand-mashed cranium, Satan is shocked, worried his sick gains have ended his healthy cat. Then Charcoal’s voice calls out: “Hurrah!”. The feline’s disembodied head reforms in the air while his disem-headed body stands up and tries to crawl into Satan’s lap. You’d think a pet-owner would be happy with a not-dead pet, but Satan’s smile appears to be broken. He slowly lays down as Charcoal, oblivious, doles out the nuzzles. Satan goes fully horizontal, which Charcoal takes as an invite to Sleepytown. From Charcoal’s perspective, he gets pats and naps. That’s a great day for a cat.
Later, Death happens upon them both, deeply concerned to see the demon holding his cat’s head and body... in separate arms. Satan assures him the cat is sleeping. He might need a doctor, but his cat is just fine.
End Summary
I’ve been kicking this one around in my head since I posted it. I couldn’t put my finger on why it felt off. However, like a tyop you only notice once you hit “Reply”, a few things stuck out once I posted it. Notes to self:
Gotta say, this comic sure is above my level of understanding, but thanks for breaking it down for me.
Also that single high detail pane reminds me of SpongeBob square pants, I like it
No problem! Storytelling is communication, and I'm still learning to talk to someone besides myself. It's a process.
Also, that was the funnest panel to make.
I don't understand it but I love it and I love you almost as much as Satan loves Charcoal (but not all the way because I'm not sure you'd survive a head squishy).
Hurrah!
Yeah the text is all blurry from the image getting compressed.
Are you in boost? If you Fullscreen the image by clicking on it there's an HD button that downloads the original image rather than the compressed preview
