Considering the name of the comic and it's tendency to be extremely cynical, there are a number of truly touching comics throughout the archives.

• For example, the end of the "Come Back" Arc had many tearing up big time.
• Tangerine and Lil'E. Nuff said.
• This scene with Seymour and Lil'E.
• This. It seriously made this atheist troper consider conversion.
• This Sunday strip from the Fuchsia and Criminy love story.
  • Especially touching as the story being told could very well be about Slick and Monique.
• The entire Devil Girl subplot is shaping up nicely as a CMOH for Criminy and Fuschia (starting around here and coming up occasionally for several months). For example, observe this and this. And it just got worse! Dammit, I need a tissue!
  • And if digging a hole into Hell is what it takes, then, dammit, that's what you've gotta do.

"Did you really come down here to save me?" "Yes. Well, no. Not to save you. ...just to be with you."

• This other Sunday strip definitely qualifies.
  • Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
• This strip addresses Cursed with Awesome surprisingly sweetly.
• "Read it again."
• "Dig Dig Dig."
  • Face it, the entirety of the Fuchsia/Criminy love story is one big Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, and it's probably just going to get warmer.
    • Since he's going into Hell after her, I'd say that's a certainty.
    • "Did you really come down here to save me?" "Yes. Well, no. Not to save you... Just to be with you."
  • Take one CMOH, add in two "Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?"s. Mix thoroughly, and you get... this.
• This moment between Monique and God.
• "Emotopia needs hope." And they got it.
• After a week or so of comics regarding Armageddon and Apocalypses this strip was kind of sweet.
  • A number of the colour Sunday comics have their own special moments that you don't really find elsewhere in the strip, but these two that bookend a week, when put together, really make you smile. The second one works on its own, but when you take into account the Sunday strip the week beforehand, it adds a little more to it.
• Seymore's always saying he's the good guy. And once in a while, he lives up to it.
• "I'm here for you.
• He'll always take the shot for her.
• These three strips. (It's not necessary to read them in order, but it makes more sense.)
• HUGGLES!
• Pretty much anytime Chibi Buddha appears in the comic counts, but doubly so on the Sundays. For example, This one, or this one.
  • Or this one.
  • This one is quite sweet. Chibi Buddha really does have that effect on the strips.
• Look closely at the 'employee of the month' poster!
• Flowers.
• Remember when.
• And then there's this. Cynical as Sinfest can get, when Tatsuya Ishida wants to do sweet and heartwarming he can do it well.
• Fuchsia was having one of the worst days ever, and then...
• From devastated to elation, without a word spoken, in this strip.
• Baby Blue doesn't get as much Character Development as Fuchsia, and even less than that is sympathetic. But, yes, she'll risk the Devil's wrath to help her friend. And you know she's pulling triple shifts to cover for her.
• After believing Percy left forever Percy comes back
• Calligraphy: Bros
• When you look into the abyss...
• You could perhaps call this one a Crowning Moment Of Heart-Rescuing; after 'Nique literally steals Slick's heart and is playing keep-away with it, it flies out of her hands and disappears into the hole to Hell. Slick loses consciousness, and so 'Nique climbs down the hole to retrieve his heart and fix it. Quite sweet. (Of course, then she gets a glimpse into it...)
  • ...And fixes it anyway.
• Tange finds a way to repay 'Nique.
• This is equal parts heartwarming and Tear Jerker. Go get the Kleenex.
• Fuchsia had been previously warned by Baby Blue to delete her wiki before The Devil found out about it. But as she is about to delete the video files, she pauses, takes a look around, and uncovers all the paintings she's been hiding all this time. She proceeds to march out of the Devil's mansion, blowing up the security alarm as she goes. The image on her computer that prompted the decision, as seen in the final panel? Her and Criminey lying under the tree together.
  • And she doesn't take anything with her except for one thing: a little book called "I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone it, People Like Me".
• A gluttonous suid hedonist puts aside his obvious trepidation against the local eldritch creature to come to the aid of his lionhearted but defenseless friend and a strangely temperamental tome of questionable literature. OR, to put it in less violet toned phrasing: Squiq saves Criminy and Tomey from The Devil.
• Baby Blue's loyalties are clear. Totally clear.
• "Would you like some tea?"
• "You are cool."
• Baby Blue being if you ever do anything to hurt over Fuchsia. On top of the fact that she spares Criminy, despite hating him, solely because killing him would hurt her friend.
• While it doesn't work out well for Story-Time Zombie, we finally get to see Fuchsia and Criminy's reunion.
• There are about three individual ones in this Sunday strip
  • Criminy and Fuchsia napping together
  • Story Time Zombie attacking Baby Blue when he thinks she's going to hurt Fyoosh.
  • "This is Blue. Could not find Fuchsia. Returning to base now. Over."
• These little dudes. The world has many splendors indeed.
• Fyoosh finds the Zombie's cave.
• "I like you, Lily."
