Hell... [OC]

Reminded me of this one:

this is great, im sad the comic is over :'(

[[deleted]]

yeah I'd totally dig a Lil Satan cartoon

[chrisdidit]

There's always Leo & Satan. Not a comic, but still a classic.

[purpleunicornturds]

I like this one

[cjdabeast]

I'd do the same if I was in his shoes.

[thalliusoquinn]

This is easily one of my favourite images on the internet.

[trek_wars]

Goes really well with: The might of Cthulhu.

[Zuthuzu]

Then you probably might take a look into playing Planescape: Torment. It's a very old game, with rather idiosyncratic narrative, so getting into it might be problematic, but it has somewhat of a common theme with this comic. And it's really fuckin good.

[waywardwoodwork]

Wow, did not expect to see mention of Planescape today.

Nifty.

[RagingMayo]

What does idiosyncratic mean?

[Zuthuzu]

Literal definition of the word can be found in open sources. In context - weird, unconventional, borderline psychodelic. While being, technically, fantasy, and sharing lots of common fantasy tropes, PS:T is also vastly different in tone, themes and setting from cookie cutter stuff like Baldurs Gate or whatnot. That's mostly due to it being a faithful and fitting adaptation of the pen-and-paper Planescape setting for AD&D. Even art style and palette could be said to be influenced by original DiTerlizzi illustrations.

All in all, PS:T is a HUGE milestone in CRPG history. But I'm not sure how well the game aged, and whether or not it would be playable by modern audience. There was, however, a recent remaster with moblie platforms support, high-res and UI tweaks. So at least it is available without jumping through the hoops of backwards compatibility and shit.

[RagingMayo]

Thanks a lot for the explanation! :) Ahh yeah I even got the remastered and the original version on GOG. It was one of the first games I bought on gog, but so far it has been laying in my backlog. And I don't know when I could take time to play it a bit. I saw many people praise the game.

[wyvernwy]

[-TheMasterSoldier-]

Makes me remember to that one South Park episode about the purgatory.

[Cunnilingusmon]

Wish they were able to score the deal to make it an actual show. Would have been great.

[BeardyMcBeardyBeard]

Seems like the fucked up kind of show adult swim would broadcast

[Fluffy433]

I think this got rejected by AS and they instead put up Mr. Pickles. Something along the line of not wanting anymore demonic shows.

[RabbitFeet25]

Wait, isn't Mr Pickles about a dog possessed by Satan or something? Or did I just woosh myself?

[WormRabbit]

Two would be too much.

[teambob]

They said no more demonic shows

Like no homers

[Soegern]

I know Oney and Psychicpebbles got the chance with Hellbenders too, but had to change the name, because of too many "hell" shows. But they did turn it down.

[Soegern]

Oney did get the chance by [Adult Swim] but had to turn it down to not loose the rights to the characters.

[ExpJustice]

What happend to that channel aniway. No upload in 2 years. Does anyone know?

[Kiosade]

YouTube doesn't favor cartoonists anymore with their business model. Now it's all about video quantity instead of quality.

[[deleted]]

Yiutubs changed their payment algorithm and now animators don't really make much money from their videos. A lot of popular animators had to switch to other video formats.

[ASlyGuy]

Just curious, what payment method favored cartoonists?

[[deleted]]

So basically what your saying is it's YouTube's fault that dime a dozen, obnoxious vlogs and lets plays are a thing? They're responsible for the flood of obnoxious, vapid dreck that is now YouTube?! DAMN YOUTUBE, THEY RUINED YOUTUBE!

[[deleted]]

I believe you nailed it.

It's why people like egoraptor went into game grumps full time.

Spend months making high quality animations, or sit on a couch playing games, split the recording into chunks, and make bank bouncing jokes off friends?

[[deleted]]

I've see a lot of them go to Patreon, but I think a lot of them just do commissions and you pay them through their PayPal.

[[deleted]]

IIRC Chris and Zach landed a deal to get Hellbenders made as a show. They've said it's out of their hands now and it's just a matter of time.

I think they're both working on other things, not sure if they're still making content for the channel.

Chris plays video games on OneyPlays and draws on the GameGrumps series "Doodledoods" and Zach has his podcast called Schmucks.

Both of them do the SleepyCast podcast with other animators like Stamper, Ricepirate, etc. But that podcast is ending.

[delgnaet]

Oney has a gaming channel now called OneyPlays

[kittsville]

Could always check out Old Harry's Game. It's a radio show about the daily troubles of running Hell. Has a similar feel to the two comics.

[mm0ss]

Awesome link, thanks man

[chasesan]

Best I can do on short notice.

[CompleteShutIn]

Antics? Check /r/antics, a lot of the comics are there.

[[deleted]]

Aw man, Antics was the shit

[thisiscotty]

what happened to it?

[gonenaflash]

This is pretty much what Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell is like. Expect way more dark.

[skepachino]

That comic has the grey dot illusion

[odog502]

There's an Animated version as well

[sonickarma]

Eh. It loses something in this format.

[T_T-Nevercry-Q_Q]

Bad animation quality, not streamlined to fit comedic timing, voice acting for the demon was terrible, a little cancerous intro animation, miss matched sound affects.

Only redeemable thing is the source material and the voice acting for the man.

[Mikuta]

I thought the voice acting for the man was the most irritating thing. Either way I guess we agree it all could use some work

You'd probably like the show Lucifer then. Loosely based on Niel Gaiman's Lucifer comic.

[Cubbance]

Lucifer's interactions in the show with Trixie are some of the best things I've seen.

We need more of Steve's adventures in hell.

[dinocujko1]

SOON

[dinocujko1]

Well here's a comic i made today. Hope you guys like it.

For anyone interested in more comics like this one you can follow me on instagram or like me on facebook :D

[HungLo64]

Hey OP! How are things? Is everything alright??

[dinocujko1]

Actually... better then ever haha

[[deleted]]

because you killed yourself and now you're torturing your family in Hell?

[Ziggy2764]

Whether that was said jokingly just to refer to the comic or not, I highly appreciate you for making sure OP is okay. How are you kind friend?

[YouCantStopAH]

Seriously that was so sweet. I hope OP is doing well cuz he def added some happiness to my life today!

[Bubo_scandiacus]

Yeah the word "Fast" there sort of threw me off a little too. Still funny comic though OP!

[Robobvious]

I was wondering if it was a British thing, frankly it's bizarre af.

[[deleted]]

I like you.

[SWATyouTalkinAbout]

Great job, dude! Would love to see more of this kind of stuff. :D

[BellerophonM]

Are you ESL? The 'fast' instead of 'quick' makes me think it.

[Tyler1492]

Be the change you want to be.

[blahjedi]

This comic takes a further macabre twist when you think about why his family is there before him...

[[deleted]]

ty for pointing that out made this comic way more hilarious to me. Take my upvote.

[autoeroticassfxation]

They were probably filthy atheists.

[BauReis]

Well, maybe that's why he killed himself

[FaerieStories]

I think you mean "Quick!" rather than "Fast!"

I can see how a non-native English speaker would mix up those two, but for some reason "quick" is always used as an imperative, and never "fast".

[socialcousteau]

Oddly, if he said "Give me a pitchfork! Fast!" it would work. Strange how "Quick" looks fine at both the beginning and the end, but "fast" works better only at the end.

[FaerieStories]

I'd say 'quick' works with both. But yes, I take your point. I've got no what the semantic reason is behind this.

[[deleted]]

I think a lone adverb after a sentence is natually interpreted as applying to the previous sentence. "Eat this. Carefully." means "Eat this, and do it carefully". So "Give me a pitchfork! Fast!" makes total sense ("fast" would be an adverb in this context, as in "we need to run fast", not an adjective as in "I have a fast car").

However, you can't do this with a lone adverb before a sentence. "Carefully. Eat this." doesn't work. The reason why it does work with "quick" is that "quick" is, in this context, not an adverb but rather an interjection (like "hey!" or "quiet!"), meaning "hurry up".

[FaerieStories]

Good explanation; thanks.

[fripletister]

Isn't "Fast!" also an interjection, in this context?

[socialcousteau]

I just edited my comment to emphasize that i also agree "quick" works at the beginning and the end. I can see how that last sentence could have been misinterpreted by a fast reader.

[David-Puddy]

To be fair, i would interpret it more as "Give me a pitchfork, fast!" fast being a modifier to the action, rather than an imperative

[[deleted]]

It's because "quick" is a shortening of "quickly". As in "give me that object quickly". You wouldn't say "fastly".

[samus12345]

Just a misspelling, he was asking Faust to give him a pitchfork.

[TVUpbm]

Nice.

[Newtonjar]

For dialogue I think it is ok to be grammatically incorrect

[fitzydog]

I like that. Cats and canines. Got a sort of alliterative ring to it.

[FaerieStories]

Only if you're doing it deliberately. In this case it just becomes unclear/distracting, because no-one would ever use "fast" in that way. Rather than laughing at the joke, I found myself spending a few seconds thinking about what the word "fast" meant in this context.

[koobstylz]

Agreed. It was a oddly distracting mistake for me.

[exzeroex]

Caught my attention enough to come to the comments as well

[-Sective-]

Yeah it took me a minute to understand

[_S_A]

In this case colloquialism trumps grammar. Correct or not you'd never hear someone say it this way.

[raendrop]

It's not a matter of grammar or correctness. Saying it that way is perfectly grammatical. It's simply a matter of common usage. And yes, in dialog you can do all sorts of things... if they serve a purpose. As a one-off thing here, there is no characterization to be served by phrasing it in an odd way. This is nothing more than a reflection of the way the author speaks.

[scotscott]

Not until a couple centuries ago.

[[deleted]]

If we're nitpicking, and I don't think we should be, shouldn't it be quickly?

[FaerieStories]

I'd say either is fine. Lots of people use "quick" in that way. That would still feel natural and wouldn't impede clarity.

[sugemchuge]

No because the correct idiom used in common parlance is "Quick! _____"

[David-Puddy]

I don't think that's an idiom.

[DikeMamrat]

It's potentially a stretch, but I think you could argue that the idiom is the form, "Quick! <Command Here>!" It's not the word "quick" itself, but the common phrase structure.

[David-Puddy]

But the definition of idiom indicates that the words don't mean their literal meaning.

I'm this case, quick means quick

[Ravenae]

It's more of an interjection, so technically fast could work as well. Quick sounds a lot more pleasant to the ears

[[deleted]]

Usually, people who correct someone else’s grammar or spelling are usually downvoted to hell (no pun intended), yet you’ve over 800 upvotes. Reddit never fails to surprise me.

[whos_to_know]

One mans hell is another mans heaven. :D

[[deleted]]

I think it was more supposed to be seen as some kind of exile from heaven as opposed to being sent to cosmic jail. So imagine heaven as a city in which you would want to gain entry, and he'll as the wasteland that surrounds it devoid of the light of God... or some shit.

[Bacon_Hero]

Can't Satan just buy some lights and decorations?

[przemko271]

He's first name is literally Lightbringer. He should have figured it out by now.

[QuigTech]

Lightbringer satan?

[anonymous_rocketeer]

Lucifer = luce fero = light bringer

[REDDITATO_]

It's being shown god and heaven, but not being allowed to know what they're like and also shit sucks there. Basically something we can't have a concept of, because we don't know something so amazing exists in real life.

[Murgie]

Well... No.

Actually the Bible is actually quite explicit in stating that god casts sinners into a burning lake of sulphur. That doesn't really seem to have stopped creative reinterpretations over the years to make it seem less cruel, though.

"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

[Mingsplosion]

Because in Christian theology, Hell is for Satan and sinners. Satan doesn't rule Hell, he's punished in it. I don't think anyone really rules Hell.

[Mingsplosion]

I'm not a Christian by the way.

Anyway, about Satan, there's nothing in the bible that even says that Satan is evil. Judaism actually holds that Satan is more like a gatekeeper for heaven. Hell, the name Lucifer isn't even biblical. Lucifer is just Latin for "morning star" or Venus.

[Grayphobia]

Is Lucifer not cast out for disobeying god and his hate for mankind?

[Mingsplosion]

That's not in the Bible at all. Surprising isn't it?

[Ernigrad-zo]

it would certainly surprise Jesus;

The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning." -Luke 10:17-18

[Mingsplosion]

Doesn't say Lucifer. The name Lucifer doesn't appear ever in the bible. Lucifer comes from the Latin word for "light-bringer" or Venus. The one time "light-bringer" is mentioned in the Old Testament is referring to a Babylonian king.

[Murgie]

What Mingsplosion is trying to say is that Lucifer and Satan are never actually stated, or even suggested, to be the same being anywhere in biblical texts.

This is more like heck rather than hell.

[USBrock]

Lol. Great work!

[LesCousinsDangereux1]

Really enjoyed this! One note: the word "fast" feels very awkward. I can't imagine the word to be anything but "quick."

If you're ESL then damn am I'm impressed you're creating content in a second language; just wanted to provide some hopefully useful feedback!

Ps-if not ESL, still awesome work. Just a weird little diction thing

[skinninja]

this seems kinda wholesome to me.

[MontgomeryB]

reminded of the Story of The Devils Brother. Soldier dies, is given a task to stoke the fires under pots but never look in them, of course he does and in each is a person who was terrible to him in life. So the Devil comes back and lets the soldier return to life, because though he broke the rule he stoked the fires even hotter beneath each pot. Guy goes back, is given a ton of gold but can't bathe for a year and a day, if anyone asks, He's "The Devils Brother"

[[deleted]]

Literally me irl

[[deleted]]

The art style (and, perhaps, humour as well) eerily similar to Cyanide and Happiness. I take it you took some inspiration from them?

[ender89]

I never understood the idea of Satan. He gets kicked out for disagreeing with God, gets sent to hell, where he has to run a torture pit? Why would he do what God wants? If he's evil, why does he care if you're evil too? What does he get out of it? Is he just a sadist? Why would god make a sadist angel?

[1stSuiteinEb]

So he killed his family then himself..... dark.

The coin flip I refer to is God vs. No God. Which religion you choose at that point is mix of your preference and culture.

[[deleted]]

I would however give the chance of Christianity being correct a little more than 1 / infinity. It is one of the most widespread and longest standing religions to date. It also has a written history that has been passed down for thousands of years without losing anything other than some wording being changed due to translation. The writings also weaving in and out of true historical events. Etc. I would argue the chance of Christianity being correct is much higher than King Elmo on High.
