The irresistible cartooning of JP Ahonen (''Sing No Evil'') combines relatable slice-of-life humor with over-the-top occult antics and references from metal music to Lovecraftian horror, making Belzebubs a devil of a good time.

Juggling work and family can be... hell. ''Calvin & Hobbes'' meets ''Call of Cthulhu'' as the sensationally popular heavy metal webcomic ''Belzebubs'' comes to print in a grim, goofy, and gorgeous hardcover.

''Belzebubs'' is a "trve kvlt mockumentary" focusing on the everyday challenges of family life: raising kids, running a small business, and making time for worship. Except the kids are named Lilith and Leviathan, the business is a BlackMetal band, and the worship... isn't exactly aimed upstairs.

!!This webcomic provides examples of the following tropes:

* BaitAndSwitch: The reason why the band's former drummer left was because he found Jesus... a hot Mexican guy.
** Lilith gives her parents the finger when they leave her and her brother at their grandmother's house while they leave for vacationing. Sløth and Lucyfer couldn't be more proud.
** When Lilith (who was a toddler at the time) tells on her baby brother for drawing on the walls with crayon, Lucyfer is absolutely floored... and proceeds to [[DoWrongRight show him how to properly draw a pentacle]].
** Lilith gets a compliment from a cute boy and hearts start floating around her... only for her to see a cherub dropping the hearts around her. She crucifies him upside down as a warning to all the "feathered freaks."
** When Lucyfer finds a lighter in Lilith's backpack, she interrogates her, asking her if she has been smoking or burning churches. When Lilith denies both, her mother asks "why the Hell not?"

* BobRossRib: One of the shows Leviathan watches is ''The Joy of Pain-Things'' by Belzebob Ross. It's basically a Bob Ross {{Expy}} wearing corpse paint depicting damned souls being tormented by demons on canvas.
--> '''Belzebob Ross''': [''Wacks his brush against the easel.''] There we go, just shake off the excess and beat the Jesus out of it.
* CasualKink: Sløth and Lucyfer's sex life is still very much active, their foreplay involving dirty talk (usually involves threats of disembowlment) and roleplaying (Sløth dressing up as a priest and trying to exorcize a demon from his wife).
* CirclesOfHell: {{Hell}} is portrayed similar to ''Dante's Inferno'', Sløth and Lucyfer staying at a hotel in he City of Dis and taking a segue tour through the Malebolge.
* CreepyFamily: The dad is the vocal and bassist for a BlackMetal band, they all wear corpse paint and worship Satan, they have easy access to TheDarkArts... but otherwise the Belzebubs just your average modern family.
* EnfantTerrible: When Lilith was born, the first thing she did was furiously bite off her own umbilical cord before her father could cut it. When getting her to bed, she has a tendency "get up all the time".[[note]]Translation: she floats right out of her crib [[BlackSpeech speaking in tongues]].[[/note]]
* EveryoneHatesMimes: One of the odd-jobs Sløth takes while the band is on hiatus is that of a mime in the park. He doesn't like to talk about it.
* FanDisservice: When Blasphe My develops a crush on Eve.
--> '''Blasphe My''': And look at that behind... I would suck a fart out of that ass.
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: Despite having met at the same orgy they conceived their first child in]], Sløth and Lucyfer belong together.
* HollywoodSatanism: Both the family and members of the band are all unambiguous devout followers of Satan. Sløth and Lucyfer met at a satanic orgy, they married in a (black) black mass, {{Hell}} is considered the ideal vacation spot for them, they celebrate Antichristmas, etc.
* IncompatibleOrientation: While Lilith and Blasphe My are exchanging notes, Blasphe My draws herself beating the sense into the doubtful Lilith. Then she depicts herself "kissing it all better and licking [her] wounds."
--> '''Lilith''': No.
--> '''Blasphe My''': Can't blame a girl for trying.
* KickTheDog: Lilith and Leviathan are seen playing frisbee at the beach... with an angel's halo, the angel desperately trying to get it back.
* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: A RunningGag has Grandma digging up her husband's corpse and having him around the house like he was still alive.
--> '''Lucyfer''': Mom, this needs to stop.
--> '''Grandma''': "Till death to us part" is for quitters.
* {{Santabomination}}: Satan Claus/Father Antichristmas is a strange, demonic creature that visits the Belzebub's household every year. Leviathan thinks that he is just their dad in a costume since his dad is always conveniently out... only when he removes the goat-skull mask just as their dad walks in, he goes into a homicidal rage, forcing them to behead Satan Claus with an axe.
--> '''Satan Claus''': [[SdrawkcabSpeech .oH oH oH]]
* ShoutOut: Obesyx calls Jim, Hubbath's proposed new drummer, "[[Franchise/GIJoe Destro]]".
* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Every bed in the house has monsters under it. Considering the family that lives there, they are more then welcome.
* VisualPun: Hubbath says that his new candidate for their new drummer is a "big metal-ead". Turns out he has a really big head ''made'' of metal.
* WowingCthulhu: Lilith summons the demon Delethir so that he could destroy Eve... only for the demon to comment non-stop on how hot she is when Lilith provides a picture.
