Sinfest

Too easy a target even for him?

The hair intimidates him.

I think before the Sisterhood most of the criticism got aimed at Christianity, in the form of Seymour, and occasionally the US.

And does he really do all that much with other topics, like racism or gay rights? Racism seems to be pretty much absent from Sinfest (not to mention there barely being any coloured people at all), bar a few Very Special Episodes. As for gay rights, there is the token jab at gays, where it is totally unclear if he is mocking the stereotype or the sexual orientation. The sudden surge of lesbians the last few years has more to do with his feminist agenda, which practically precludes any normal heterosexual relationships. But all those issues inevitably turn out to revolve around feminism anyway, usually through assosiation with the Sisterhood. They are always reflecting back on his feminist message.

Speaking of message, what else does he have to say anyway? He has been making the same points over and over. Does he want to convince his audience? Himself? Is there any plan, any end in sight?

Or is he just going to continue like this until he dies of old age, or his last fans finally desert him?

I just love the bouncer's dumbfounded expression. Seymour is actually pretty funny when given the chance.

Tats doesn't focus on gay rights very often, but Francis is actually one of the only male characters to be seen in a positive light since The Sisterhood takeover. There was even a comic where he and his nameless boyfriend tormented Seymour a little bit when he was on one of his, increasingly rare, tirades.

I'm liking Seymour a lot. I want more of that!

Metalix, YOU FOOL! You forget that he also is a penis demon! There are these two comics where Tats made sure that we wouldn't forget even the gay guy has committed horrible sins against women. Everything bad you ever do to a woman gets put on your permanent record! Basically you can get sent to hell for not calling a clearly throwaway joke character from TEN YEARS AGO after one date.

That really is supposed to be Amber in the dragging Criminy to hell comic, it's in the archive search keywords!

I wonder when Seymour will realize that his oh-so-fearsome technique never did anything.

Watching Amber waiting for a call that never came will never fail to make me sad.

I'm not sure what's supposed to be going on. That's all I can really say.

Tats trying to retcon basically. In this case, he's trying to make it look like Fuschia wasn't as into her work as Blue was with Blue having a flash back.

This despite the fact that she very much was a fan of her work till she fell in love with Crim.

I feel like everything except for the last two panels was reused from a previous comic.

Blue missing her friend, haven't seen that before. It really surprises me that with this many storylines (I lost count there), Tats hardly makes progress in any of those. How does one even DO that? Must be some kind of special skill.

Also, if we're not gonna make progress anyway, at least give us back the Chinese dragon. I miss that guy.

Fyoosh doesn't have horns in that first pic. I think that's their pre-devilgirl days.

They only got their tail and horns when they were torturing souls in hell? So if I understand it right devil girls are formed when they do truly despicable things?

This means that in Tats' mind prostitution is the equivalent to that? Fascinating!

Before this, devil girls were formed when they were bomfed, which was apparently Tats' pseudonym for sex (most times, at least). These two devil girls, in particular, were at first just nameless demon girls the Devil used to walk around with, like he was a pimp king.

Now he seems to be retconning the idea of where devil girls come from. Either that, or this is a specific origin story for these two girls in particular.

And yes, they are dressed like prostitutes, but that seems to be the uniform for women in the Devil mansion (at least in the old days).

To be fair, it's really hot in Hell.

It is also really fiery. They must have some impressive sun screen.

I'm assuming they have Air defenses beyond the drones. Otherwise Squig couldn't be in a safer place.

You forget. Squig is Male and not Crim. Therefore he doesn't have Plot Armor.

No. As crazy as Tats has gone in some ways, he's not going to kill anybody except the Old Year every December.

Careful; he might take that as a challenge.

I'm wondering why in the world they even bothered issuing a warning instead of just shooting them out of the sky.

Because in Sinfest team Evil is the most likeable and reasonable side?

I'm pretty sure Tats is not going to kill any characters. One reason the fembots were introduced was to be able to have violence and death without involving real people. All you need for plot armour in this comic is a name.

You don't even need a name sometimes. Xanthe was untouchable LONG before she got a name.
