Chronicle comic

Sorry I'm a day late. Apparently I'm bad at this whole webcomic thing.

The joke was as follows:

There was a town that had a problem: all over town, people started to do bad stuff. No one knew why this was until someone discovered that at night, the devil was sneaking into people's houses and dosing them with potions that incited them to sin.

The people did what they could, but they just could not stop the devil from doing this. Eventually, the mayor called in some exorcists. They didn't succeed in exorcising the devil from town, but one of them said that if they successfully managed to find where the devil was creating these potions, then the devil would leave town.

The mayor sent far and wide to anyone who could figure out where the devil was working, but to no avail. Then one day, a man walked into town.

He met with the mayor and said "I hear you're having trouble with the devil."

The mayor explained the situation and the stranger nodded in understanding. Then he said, "I notice you have a large statue in the middle of town. Do you mind telling me about that?"

The mayor was confused, but explained that the statue was of Bumtheg, a god that the people used to worship before they converted. The stranger nodded again. "What you must do," he said, "is break off the hands of the statue and destroy them. That should take care of your devil problem."

The mayor agreed to do so, and formed a group to do exactly that. As the group broke up the hands, the devil appeared, angry as hell. He spit and swore and said all sorts of nasty things, but then he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The whole village was amazed. The mayor turned to the stranger and said, "That was incredible! But how did you know where the devil was hiding out?"

The replied, "Oh, it's an old saying: idol hands are the devil's workshop."
