As always, fiction precedes fact.
This was a 2000AD story some years back.
Buttless clothes.

And that is my inner geek completely exposed (much like these butts).

Which raises (NOT begs) the question: Why would a Satanic devil guy want to collect raw, barely-formed souls of children? Wouldn’t richly experienced souls of older folks be more rewarding? I’m reminded of the conceit that miscarried or aborted fetuses, or infants, have their souls delivered straight to heaven. Then dead adults would be surrounded by speechless, mindless nothingburgers. Doesn’t sound like an appealing afterlife for adults. Does Satan collect miscarriages? I doubt it.

I’m pretty sure it is Krampus in the picture rather than Satan.

Close enough. Modern Murkans probably can’t differentiate.

What religion is that from? I’m a recovered Catholic and they teach that unbaptised souls go to purgatory.
They also teach that animals don’t have souls, which is one of the many reasons I drifted away from their teachings as a teen.

Wait, this isn’t Catholic dogma?

Christian, maybe? Same with the Narnia books. I loved those books as a kid and only learned later of the Christian undertones. I remember thinking it was cool, at least, that there were all those animals in Narnia.

Pretty sure they don’t preach either purgatory or that children go there. Anyway it’s in the Nicene creed that resurrection is the bodily resurrection on the last day. Elements of folk religion that are not part of official beliefs are rife.
