Deal With the Devil?

We all know the tropes. From Faust to Dorian Gray’s artwork to the only possible explanation for Tom Cruise’s looks—somebody wants something enough to make that deal with the devil. Eternal youth, power, the 2016 election results… Souls changed hands here.

• Outsmart the devil. But the wily old snake has been peddling them apples since day 7 of creation, so he’s all about the fine print.

• Hire Alan Dershowitz Daniel Webster as your defense lawyer and argue that conviction is unAmerican.

Okay. Technically, this comic has almost nothing to do with this particular bullet point and everything to do with proving my total nerdness. Sue me.
