Satan and Me

Satan and Me, often shortened to SaM, is an ongoing web comic by Orangeplum. 
== Plot ==
Natalie McAllister is a teenage girl who accidentally summons and forms a contract with Satan when the menstrual pads she bought and used were printed with his summoning symbol.
The comic follows Natalie and Satan as they learn to live together and hide his true identity by passing him off as a human. At the same time, they must deal with the imminent Apocalypse, a final battle between Satan and his brother Michael. Satan's followers, his Archangel siblings, and Natalie's human friends are all roped into the war between Heaven and Hell.

SaM was inspired by a short comic called "Period Thoughts" by Tumblr user viivus. It depicts how the artist would pretend the designs on menstrual pads were satanic summoning symbols.viivus: Period Thoughts User lotrlockedwhovian added onto the post with the idea that Satan would be bound to a teenage girl.lotrlocked: that would make the funniest fucking story...

* When choosing which Archangels would appear in the comic, Orangeplum initially picked the four most "popular" ones (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel). She then chose Zadkiel because their role as the angel of mercy fit perfectly in the plot at the time, and "shopped around" various Christian denominations to decide the rest (Jophiel, Chamuel, Raguel). She chose for there to be seven of them (after Satan fell from Heaven) because the number seven has major significance in Christianity.thisiskindagross: Is there any rhyme or reason to the archangels you...
* Orangeplum's other comic, Here it Comes, takes place in the same universe as SaM. Both comics stand alone and will not canonically intersect.hereitcomescomic: Will this comic tie into Satan and Me at all?
