The Sinfest Succubi known as the Devil Girls. Permission to display an image of them is being requested.


The Devil Girls

The Devil Girls are a pair of bisexual[1] succubi; like almost all female characters in the Sinfest universe, they are unnamed, but they are distinctive in that one has long magenta hair and the other has somewhat shorter blue hair. They are sometimes seen accompanying the Devil or working for him to corrupt his clients. They are not his only aides[2] but these two are most prominent; unlike most of the Devil's girl servants, they have horns and pointed tails identical to his own. Slick called them androids, and the Devil did not disagree; in one strip, he repairs a separate girl.[3]. Their role is usually to expose the lust of the characters, usually Slick, in an amusingly stereotypical way.


Appearances in the series

They first appeared to tempt Slick into abandoning a temporary abstention from vice by performing sexually in front of him; since their antics were deliberately staged, it is unclear whether or not their apparent lesbianism might be simply an act to promote prurient interest. However, in 2007-09-16's strip, little hearts float above their heads as they fondle each other while Slick is not even noticeably watching, suggesting genuine romantic feelings. 2008-05-05 and 2008-08-17's strips depicts them sharing a bed, and the former strip further depicts them responding to "the dyke signal" (part of a running gag where characters respond to a specific signal ala Batman), a somewhat clearer indication of their sexuality.


Snatch-O-Gram

This was a series that ran from September 10, 2007 to September 16th, 2007. In this series was the very first appearance of the Devil Girls in Sinfest. [4]

TBC

Eight-Legged Freak

This was a single shot panel that ran on July 14th, 2008. The strip transforms the Devil Girls into the Kanji symbol for Demon, but the word Succubi is written below it. [5]

Expand My World Series

During the first week of strips in January 2009, one of the Devil Girls was the focus of the week. During this period, called Expand My World, she was spending her time teasing Criminy. During that time, it would appear that he endeared himself to her for calling her "a delightful devil-person". [6] At the midpoint of the series, Seymour appeared to try and "save" Criminy from the Devil Girl. [7] At the end of the series, Seymour and the Devil Girl faced off, she causing Seymour's halo to burst into flames. As she was going to toss fireballs at him, Criminy stopped her saying that she "wasn't always a Devil Girl". She did take pause at that and held her attack. In the next panel, the other Devil Girl appeared, and took her away from the situation with the comment, "You were teasing nerds weren't you?" The last panel showed the first Devil Girl with a confused expression waling away with the other, and Criminy asking Seymour if he was alright, to which Seymour looks towards his burnt halo with tears in his eyes and bemoans, "My Halo..." [8]

Interfering With Destiny

For the January 18th, 2009 Sunday Comic, the Devil Girls made an appearance. In this color strip, the pair were involved in interfering with Slick and Monique being brought together by God. [9] The January 21st, 2009 comic continued the conflict between Monique and the Devil Girls having them all run past Squig before preparing for a pillow fight in front of him, and then starting to go at it. [10] The fight continues in the January 23rd, 2009 strip as well. During this time Jesus appears to speak with Squig for a moment before moving off to end the fight. [11]Then on the January 24th, 2009 strip, Jesus appears to bring the pillow fight to a halt by using the powers of grace and blessings on the Devil Girls. In doing so, one Devil Girl's outfit becomes quite proper from her previous outfit. However attempting to use his powers on Monique fails and he is somewhat confused as the strip closes.[12]

A Confused Devil

The pair of Devil Girls appeared again in the February 3rd strip. Still being under the effect of Jesus, the pair are playing patty-cake as the Devil comes into the frame. He sighs a bit at what is happening before turning to look at Monique and saying that at least this one wasn't changed, to which Monique is indigent as the strip ends.[13]
