is the metaphor of the little devil on your shoulder falling out of fashion? not aimed at you personally, your comment just made me wonder if it's starting to become less known in general.

I thought that was a possibility but they both look like devils?

Also I don't think the metaphor is falling out of fashion, less common than it used to be, but I think everyone still knows it.

They are both devils - his wife (the author) has a shoulder angel and shoulder devil, along with an occasional shoulder princess, shoulder cave woman, and a few others that have appeared once or twice. Obby here gets a relatively subtle devil and an overt satyr-shaped devil.
