The late Sebastian Horsley aside, what decadent could look as striking in a red suit as Mephisto of Marvel Comics? How very Thierry Mugler of him. Note the tall shirt collar - just the way I like them, these days - and the unaffected lack of neckwear - also a recent proclivity of mine. Insert your own "the devil is in the details" reference here
And the grooming! In the words of the demon himself, "I have the most luxuriant sideburns in all of creation"

This missive is so short, but, poignant and to the point. Your description is so on point it makes the illustration vivid and lively. The part about the sideburns, compelled me to go straight to the image and search for the sideburns.
I love this post, and the imagery that goes with it. There is something fascinating about popular depictions of the Devil. To my mind, they reveal something of how we see ourselves, and not just our darker side but also our more unrestrained nature. Great post.
