Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

I always figured in the story that really, since the adversary was the first one banished, he would probably not be so much occupied with the torture of others. Probably be like, "Welcome to the Shit Show." Assuming you even ran into him. Place is probably pretty full by now.
The Christian Hell mythology is contradictory because it's almost entirely fanfiction, and a much more modern fanfiction than you'd think, particularly in regards to Satan's role.
The long and short of it is that, if you assume the Bible is an authority on such things, Hell isn't this major thing where most people end up because they didn't believe correctly, it's not a physical thing at all, much less a thing populated by torturing demons, and Satan wouldn't be in charge, or the Warden, or anything like that. He'd be a prisoner too.
Even in Inferno, Dante depicts him as imprisoned in ice.
If I remember correctly, the book itself refers to a lake of fire, talks of people going somewhere devoid of God's love, and that's just it. It's absolutely bonkers what Dante's Inferno did to Christian lore.
I'm not a Christian, personally, so it's just an oddity to me.
I always find amusing the idea that Christianity started up as fiction and someone went and just straight up set it up as an MLM and people have been running it to this day without being sure how it even started or why but reaping the benefits anyways
