Chad Calek of Paranormal State inspired today’s comic. He was promoting the episode where they were seeking this elusive demon. I still say that was a deer… Sorry Chad. 😉 It’s the bushes in front of it that breaks up the body to make wings. Just my opinion.
Many of you probably don’t realize that I used to do a hockey comic called Puck. It was popular during the 90s and ran in a newsletter I sent all over the world called “Sweepin’ the Crease…” It was also in several hockey magazines and newspapers periodically. So, I am familiar with drawing hockey players. Although my equipment might reflect a decidedly 90s nature. I actually had to google the New Jersey Devils for their logo. I’ve been out of touch too long.
As far as the legend of the New Jersey Devil goes… I’m afraid my leanings are more toward skeptic. Those deep woods can hold a myriad of creatures that would be mistaken for something demonic, especially if you have a tall tale about a crazed woman and her lunatic son.
Many times I have laid in bed and heard what sounded like a woman screaming. It was merely a screech owl. Also, bobcats, fisher cats will make crazy noises. Deer look pretty freaky at night. I was tending a pit fire that was curing some ceramic art I created and was disconcerted to see rows of eyes starring at me in the darkness. An entire herd of deer was hanging out watching me.
We need more conclusive evidence on the Devil thing. I’m waiting…

I have to agree with you about the deer. My husband is a skeptic and on this rare occasion that I got him to watch a paranormal show with me. I was excited because of all he hype over this show’s evidence. I’m afraid that after this show, he is still a skeptic..I was really disappointed in them.
Oh, and they played some sounds on that show were supposedly the devil. The first one was a coyote, for sure.
If you’re not a nature person, everything in the woods is demonic! LOL
