Especially touching as the story being told could very well be about Slick and Monique.
The entire Devil Girl subplot is shaping up nicely as a CMOH for Criminy and Fuschia (starting around here and coming up occasionally for several months). For example, observe this and this.◊ And it just got worse! Dammit, I need a tissue!
A number of the colour Sunday comics have their own special moments that you don't really find elsewhere in the strip, but thesetwo that bookend a week, when put together, really make you smile. The second one works on its own, but when you take into account the Sunday strip the week beforehand, it adds a little more to it.
Seymore's always saying he's the good guy. And once in a while, he lives up to it.
You could perhaps call this one a Crowning Moment Of Heart-Rescuing; after 'Nique literally steals Slick's heart and is playing keep-away with it, it flies out of her hands and disappears into the hole to Hell. Slick loses consciousness, and so 'Nique climbs down the hole to retrieve his heart and fix it. Quite sweet. (Of course, then she gets a glimpse into it...)
Fuchsia had been previously warned by Baby Blue to delete her wiki before The Devil found out about it. But as she is about to delete the video files, she pauses, takes a look around, and uncovers all the paintings she's been hiding all this time. She proceeds to march out of the Devil's mansion, blowing up the security alarm as she goes. The image on her computer that prompted the decision, as seen in the final panel? Her and Criminey lying under the tree together.
Baby Blue being if you ever do anything to hurt over Fuchsia. On top of the fact that she spares Criminy, despite hating him, solely because killing him would hurt her friend.
