I've seen a blog post about this, which I can't find at the moment. If I remember correctly, it's from an old and rather obscure comic, and the plot is that the Devil goes up to see how the human race is getting on, and ends up fleeing home with his tail between his legs because the modern world is so much scarier than anything he's ever managed.
Just a guess, but could this be from Chick Tracts?
Definitely not a Chick Tract, I'd have remembered that. It was something really obscure that I'd never heard of before.
Does anyone know the origin of this panel: [1]
. Which didn't embed, but the link seems to work. It's a comic panel of a woman reading in bed, with the devil bursting in the window shrieking " HOOOOYARRRRRGH!! It's me, Satan!" "So?"
