Demons: Rise & Grind
The worst part of Hell isn't the flames... it's the paperwork.
Bug and Grog are pit demons of Hell, and they've got it pretty good. Some routine brutality, some quotidian violence, and then they are basically free to do whatever (and whomever) they like. That is, until Grog gets noticed for being frustratingly competent, and ruins the whole thing by being sent to work in Hell's "upstairs office." As he tries to navigate a series of byzantine systems and bureaucratic absurdities, Bug tries to navigate the frustration of being left behind. Will Bug learn to accept this new status quo with grace, or do something impulsive and reckless? Spoiler alert: It's something impulsive and reckless.
This fourth comic in the Demons graphic novel series by Hyena Hell can be read in sequence or as a standalone!

Graphic novel. Very creative. Fun, witty look at the underworld life of two demons. I really enjoyed the satire of administrative office work in Hell. The artwork is a lot of fun and the writing is very sharp.
Didn't realize it was part of a series when I bought it. I guess I have to find the rest of them.

Grog gets a forced promotion and has to learn the true Hell of beauraucracy and middle management. While Bug... sits around doing nothing? Complaining? Doing a terrible job? I don't know, Bug does Bug stuff and she's great at it. Or awful. I don't know. But I could FEEL how annoyed Grog was.
