PHOEBRUARY CONTINUES!!!
We’ve hit the spectacular conclusion to Phoebruary, so vote to see the new and altogether crazy final entry!
VOTE TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PHOEBE!!!
As for this comic…
Hey, the man knows what he likes.
For those who feel the giant painting of Tracee hasn’t been given its due within the panels of this comic, you can take a look OVER ON PATREON if you’re a patron and you’ll find a full-size version of the image.
Yep, at least she’s doing something good. Keeping the devil distracted, not an easy feat.
That’s called putting your talents to good use.
I have to say, as distractions go, Tracee is in the top five.
Very distracting. But not quite as distracting as Nintendo.
Are we speaking of a specific system or Nintendo as a whole?
All. It’s all the same system. In different machines.
Unexpected
I laughed
Excellent
A U.L.E. Unexpected laugh – excellent. The highest honor.
Satan, either Tracee leaves or Sigmund leaves… BUT NOT BOTH!
Maybe both? Who knows!
He’s an empty nester and would get lonely.
Isn’t Tracee a bit manipulative herself ? Isn’t that evil by its own standards ?
That’s the beauty of her evil! She even confounds evil itself!
It’s also the evil of her beauty! She confounds her own evil, often as not.
I vote we raise them to federal level! All the silliness of the Trudeau governments, with only half the economic sabotage!
Yes. Therein lies the real magic of Tracee. If she were purely an awful villain, she would be a lot easier to ignore. But the fact that, as you so perfectly put it, she confounds her own evil, that is TRULY mesmerizing.
Is this a perfect example of Chaotic Evil?
Truly chaotic evil is … sometimes good!
But if she’s manipulating Satan, that doesn’t make HIM evil! That makes him a stooge! A patsy! A rube! Another vintage word for the same thing!
Not speaking about fact that lust is one of the top sins, so …
Well I don’t know if it is art, but I know what I like….
Nor do I. Thank goodness I have nothing to do with art.
…Why does that cat look like Nora from Twokinds?
Interdimenional weirdness.
So…who painted the painting?
Possibly the same guy in this comic (who is supposedly NOT Gecko, despite apparently having some resemblance).

Good memory. This is definitely a callback to that comic from a million years ago. Though probably not the same painting. Maybe it was a series.
Every time I’ve seen Satan in this comic, I’ve assumed that the lighting in his office is what caused the shadow on his sleeve & face. The fact that he still has it, even while standing directly under a light source (in this case, the light above Tracee’s mural) has led me to realize that it was a design choice that Satan had built into his suits THE WHOLE TIME!
The darkness that falls over Satan is the darkness of eternal damnation. It is the curse of his own evil, his status as Prince of Darkness, that means he is forever cursed to exist in permanent twilight. More on this later…
Well stated. I see someone took religious philosophy in college, or at least went to a Jesuit grade school.
So… what about the darkness that falls on Hotdog Guy?
That isn’t consistent. He really does emerge from that and isn’t cast in darkness when he sits in his chair.
Look at Satan’s yellow (golden?) aura.
It must be love; or at least lust 🙂
Can it be both?
Totally! Both is even better.
I can’t help but thinking of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5YIJ1pZEBc
As for the TWC incentive, is that Emily’s “Soletaken” form?
(For those who know, they know. Malazan Book of the Fallen reference.)
Good song. And sure. I’ll back that.
She puts the “Fine” in “Fine Art”!
And takes the art out.
So, there was a step DOWN from University President no one ever heard of. Did Tracee cause it or was she attracted to it?
Hard to say.
I can hear it from here.
also: I did not forget.
You have good ears.
Say, anybody else getting that annoying popup ad? It was turning up when I clicked for the comments. Might not have mentioned it…does seemed link to some sites I’ve viewed…but this morning it popped up and asked me if I was a real person.
It’s strange getting the same popup over and over.
Phoebe has left Tracee in the dust; and given that she’s Satan’s kin, the sin of incest’d cement him as the prince of evil.
and oh by the way, Satan is a relatively late recasting of an ancient non-dichotomous mythos of twin brothers who took turns as King of Winter and King of Summer,, officiating at each other’s willing sacrifices, and courting the Great Mother.
I cannot be silent any longer.
Satan and TRACEE in the same episode.
Be still … my evil black cat heart.
I’m glad you broke the silence.
Satan could charge fees to see that art! Very popular I’m sure! 🙂
I don’t think he’d get many takers. Have you seen the kind of pictures people post on the Internet? FOR FREE?!?
I guess I’m behind the times. I bet he’ll have some kind of money making scheme before long. 🙂
