Wagers of Sin


The concept was originally that as bad as Hell gets talked up, there might just be a worse place. Like, where do the toilets flush to, where does the sewage go? The idea was that the sewers of Hell must go to someplace worse than where they came from, and that being "Sub-Heck" where the three figures above accidentally wind up after a slightly atrocious and slightly comical turn of bad luck on an average day at work in the sewers of Heck/Hell/Dis, or whatever you may call it. Our Wicked wagers, work stiffs from the sulferous depths find themselves neck deep in deep doo-doo and very shortly after in a whole new world that puts 'Heck' into perspective (but in a light-hearted funny way, as everyone knows eternal damnation is nothing but a fun, fun, fun until daddy takes the t-bird away. Serously).
It is not quite Peanuts, and not quite Calvin and Hobbes, and thankfully it is not Zippy the Pin-head, but it might be sometimes funny as sewage is never to rarely mentioned or a big factor in the concept and never ever seen.
Maybe never mentioned at all, how about the guys just discover the wages of sin are really quite... wicked but funny?
