More extremely normal kitty

Edit: Is it irritating to read multi-page comics as one long strip? I know I can put the pages in the post, but is there a way to let users swipe through multiple pages on Lemmy?

I'm not sure I get all the jokes here, but what I do get I very much appreciate. Thank you!

I think the joke is that Satan's cat is just like a regular cat. My cat is exactly like this. I don't have a fancy flail but she goes apeshit for my cheap laser pointer.

It's hilarious we imagine ALL cats are the same, maybe just different sizes. Is the strong-jawed, jacked Satan who lives in a medieval castle a thing? Or is that just artistic license only for this one strip?

Well, based on how seductive Satan is according to Christianity I don't think drawing him as a muscular yet not threatening man with bisexual vibes is non-canon. I'm no expert. I'm focused on the cat.

So, this strip is the 7th in my comic This is Charcoal. It stars Charcoal, the cat with the brain of a cat and the power of a god, alongside Satan, cosmic cat-dad. It has its own take on Hell and all that, but we haven't seen all the details yet.

Also,

strong-jawed, jacked Satan

muscular yet not threatening man with bisexual vibes

I genuinely thank you both these words. No joke, I have been turning myself inside-out with Satan's design, wondering if others would describe him the way I would. "Maybe he's too femme. Maybe he's not femme enough. Does he need more biceps? WHAT COLOR SHOULD HIS NAIL POLISH BE!?". I finally calmed down.

I actually think your Satan design is really fitting for the context - spot on actually.

Read all 7 and really enjoyed them!

Your Satan is fine. You're doing fine.
