Go To

1* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2001-09-13 September 11]]. The candles. Oh God the candles...
2* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-09-19 Fyoosh's What Have I Done? Moment.]] Especially when you consider that she loves Criminey because he brings out the best in her- then he sees her worst side. It gets better, though.
3* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2005-11-22 Poor Pooch...]]
4** That little doggie could pull tears from ''[[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2005-11-28 stone]]'' .
5* Webcomic/{{Sinfest}} has a surprising amount, considering it's nominally about one spikey-haired midget and his attempt to get laid, but notable ones are anytime [[ButtMonkey Slick]] is honest about Monique, and many strips in the Uncle Sam series. Like [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2008-10-25 this one]].
6* After months of build-up, [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-04-16 we find out why]] [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-04-17 Fuchsia is so enamoured with Criminy.]]; even more heart-wrenching is that God's hand puppet ''actually'' looks remorseful, not firing back with his (usually) sharp wit.
7* The end of the Bad Behavior series, in which Fuchsia has a DespairEventHorizon.
8* It is funny, but still, [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-07-03 this]]...
9* Why does Lil' E like TheDevil so much? [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2011-09-25 Well...]]
10** And what does the Devil keep in his high-security [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2011-10-16 vault?]]
11* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2011-11-20 Thanks for being my friend...]]
12* In the same comic [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2011-11-20 poif poif...]]
13* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2011-12-02 "Please don't throw Bibles at me!"]] ''Damn'' it, Seymour...
14* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2011-12-09 This,]] because it makes their relationship almost painfully clear. Lil'E's who does those things mostly for [[SoProudOfYou acknowledgment]] from the Devil who in return ends up being [[DisappointedInYou disappointed]] by Lil'E's lack of [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2011-12-11 true evil power]].
15** It's also revealed that baby Lil'E [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-04-08 didn't quite agree with all of his father's ways.]]
16* The tormented souls of Hell start missing Fuchsia and her stories. So much that they escaped from Hell in the form of a bulky zombie to search for her.
17** They [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-01-22 haven't found her yet.]]
18** Finding her [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-02-05 hasn't improved Story-Time Zombie's situation. Now he fears being shunned by her.]]
19* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-03-04 We learn something about Baby Blue's childhood.]]
20* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-03-25 Fuchsia finally catches up to the Zombie.]]
21* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-04-08 Picnic.]]
22* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-06-03 Torch.]]
23* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-06-10 Li'L E's birthday party.]] Try not to cry.
24* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2007-10-28 Slick gets something in his eye.]]
25* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2008-02-19 An elephant at a party]] -- [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom in the living room.]]
26* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-01-16 God sets out to match-make]]. [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-01-17 She has to arrive.]] [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-01-18 But the succubi interfere, which is comic until the last panel.]]
27* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-07-22 This]] is probably [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone the most depressing]] Sinfest comic ever.
28** [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-07-23 Then]] he gets back to business. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome "All right...now where was I?"]]
29* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-07-24 Lily's reaction to birthday cakes]].
30* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-08-05 No wonder she willingly serves the Devil. No one else seemed to care.]]
31* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2007-06-24 Slick writes a poem that makes any girl who hears it fall in love with him, except Monique, that only one he truly wants]].
32* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-09-30 It's official: Tatsuya is trying to use Lil' E's past to kill us all via heartbreak.]]
33** [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-03-17 Honestly, it gets worse.]]
34** Mutilate, the strip above, is worse for people who have been in those situations. Whether it's Lil' E's mom desperately trying to comfort her son or Lil' E rejecting her embrace, there are a lot of people who go through those scenarios.
35* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-10-14 That woman that Criminy went out with was waiting for him to call, but he never did. No matter how long she waited.]]
36* WishFulfillment [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2012-10-29 comic.]]
37* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-02-09 "How come we don't hang out like we used to?" ]]
38* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-04-03 Even if you don't like her, it's a little depressing to see Xanthe lose faith in men.]]
39* The [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-05-19 May 19, 2013]] takes it another step for Lil' E. [[spoiler: When his Mom, the Woman in White, is in hiding for "witchcraft and deviltry," he and her head to the Devil's mansion...only to be turned away by the guard on the Boss' orders (while said boss is partying with Baby Blue and a pre-HeelFaceTurn Fuchsia). The sad look the Woman gives her son as they leave, with Lil' E wondering about Daddy is heartbreaking.]]
40** Which makes what the Devil keeps in his high-security [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2011-10-16 vault]] all the more painful. [[spoiler: For a moment of pleasure with his two Devil Girls, the Devil turned away his son and his son's Mother.]]
41** He didn't hear them. He ''couldn't hear them.'' The damn music was so loud he never even noticed the intercom.
42*** Which begs the question of his reaction once he was told that they came to see him. Did he desperately look for them? Did he even reach out? Honestly, Lil' E's enitre life has been one big tragedy.
43* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-06-06 "Oh...so, that's a 'no' then."]] The saddest thing is, it isn't a no.
44* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-06-08 "Sure, I have a story. Once upon a time, there was a boy that nobody liked. And no matter how hard he tried, nobody liked him. The end." "That's ME."]]
45* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-07-31 I want things to be the way they used to be]].
46** Not helped by the fact the next strip turns it into a joke.
47* Monique suggesting to her friend Abby to go on a strike. We soon get this strip [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-09-28]]. Also doubles as a heartwarming moment.
48* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-12-17 I'm afraid I don't remember much of anything. I can relate to that]].
49* [[http://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2014-01-05 The death of the Weaponized Fembot after she gained free will and the Heroic Sacrifice of MMXIII]].
50** The Pink Fembot later picks up the Weaponized Fembot's knife, and attempted [[DrivenToSuicide to perform seppuku on herself]] only to be stopped by Lil 'E and Tangerine [[http://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2014-01-12]].
51* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-10-27 "Ghost"]].
52* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2014-11-10 "Bosom Buddies"]]... anyone else feel the echoes of the lost bond of Slicky and Monique?
53* Sam finally owns up that he does porn and imperialism and such because he honestly thinks Liberty wouldn't be with him if he's not wealthy and on top. Furious he seems to think so little of her feelings for him, [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2014-12-07 she leaves him.]]
54** Not only is it the long-suffering Liberty's LastStraw, but it says a lot about Sam: He honestly doesn't think he has anything to offer her ''except'' money and power.
55* [[http://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2016-01-03 The death of MMXV]]. The only consolation is that he got his wish, if only for a brief while.
56* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2016-04-17 The Wall.]] Anyone who knows what The Reality Zone meant to a lot of the character development before the heavy feminist slant of the current narrative will be wondering what happens now...
57* [[http://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2016-07-08 How Monique cites that she and Slick]] [[WeUsedToBeFriends drifted apart]]. This is heartbreaking when you consider how badly he's been coping and how much of his life has been disrupted by his evil side, despite his efforts to remain connected to her.
58** And its more painful when you consider [[http://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2017-07-10 at this point]] even Squigley is telling Slick its time to let her go.
59** Reminders of scenes such as [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2007-12-30 this one]] definitely don't help.
60* Lady Liberty was caught in the collapse resulting from Uncle Sam's bad reaction to Liberty's arrest. [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2016-11-29 She is lying prone]], and {{Death}} is approaching. [[spoiler:She got up though, and Death was chased off. She's now active, although sporting a cast and a crutch.]]
61** The knife is twisted with [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2016-12-02 this.]] To see what has become of those two, cheerful, hopeful kids is truly gut-wrenching.
62* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2017-05-15 Lilith saw the good in everyone.]] Too bad [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2013-03-17 no one could see the good in her at the end.]]
63* You know Milton, that lecherous, awful, jerk of a guy who runs the Devil Corp Fembots division and is responsible for all the covert surveillance and objectification? Yeah. He [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2017-05-14 used to run a toy shop]]. An innocent and happy place for children. And he looks so ''happy'' there.
64* [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2016-07-29 This.]] It doesn't take much effort to picture that scene after everything that's been shown of Lil' E's past.
65* While the readers know the true, gut-wrenching reason Lilith left Lucifer (they disagreed on how to raise Lil' E), it's sad to see how [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2017-09-11 his personality gives Monique the idea that she left him because he's]] well, [[TheDevil the Devil]].
66** It's vaguely implied that because Legion turned away Lilith and Lil' E, [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2017-09-16 the Devil fired him]].
67* The comic always ends the year with a several strip long story in the death of Father Time - the representation of the year that just passed. This usually runs the gamut from hilarious to heartwarming as each Year finally accepts their end. It's probably significant to the horrid events and revelations that have come out recently, that [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2017-11-17 this year, it isn't FATHER Time.]]
68** Also, the way she goes down... saving those BOMF District girls who have come to hate being sex workers, with the second year in a row that a giant robot ends up bringing the fireworks.
