Greasemonkey Griffin [View all]



Not much of a story, so I'm only posting the splash page. Note the two characters portraying his conscience. A devil and an angel.

How far back does this cliche go? What was it's origin? I'm thinking it's a story device that goes back to the earliest days of story telling. Of course they used different characters, but did they always have religious connotations?
