I Dig Your HC On Al Never Paying For Anything And That He Just Scares People In To Giving Him Things.

I dig your HC on Al never paying for anything and that he just scares people in to giving him things. From the comic he does seem to have money. Where do you think he got it from? Does he get paid for his radio show? Ads? Did he take it from the overlords he defeated?

Short answer:

That dude in the butcher shop that Alastor mangled and made meat of?

He's not going to need his wallet anymore.

Long answer:

I think that, in Hell, Alastor doesn't exactly have a job anymore—no show, no ads. Sure, he still broadcasts, because that's part of his power set, but the difference between having a radio show versus casually broadcasting is like the difference between having a weekly editorial column in a major newspaper versus yelling your opinions on twitter.

And this is significant because the fact that he doesn't HAVE a job is probably why he feels so bored and uninspired. If he'd continued being a proper radio host throughout his time in Hell, then he would have something that he’s dedicated to, something he can spend all his time on, something that plays to his strengths and interests.

Instead? When we get a look at a day in the (after)life of Alastor... what he does all day is wander around. Meander through the streets of Pentagram City. Pause for brunch, check out a new store, say hi to the neighborhood ladies. Sure, it sounds like a nice way to spend a free Saturday—but if this is, as we’re led to believe, his AVERAGE day, then this dude has got jack shit to fill his time. He just wanders around, and wanders around, and wanders around.

He’s wandering around when he catches Charlie’s broadcast on TV. He’s got so little going on that he can IMMEDIATELY go over to the hotel and beg for a job offer his services. He’s not running a radio show. He’s not doing anything.

(How COULD he run a show, anyway? He’s the terrifying guy called the Radio Demon who’s best known for 1) mangling people, and 2) broadcasting it live on air. If you live in Hell, you turn on the radio, and you hear the Radio Demon’s voice... the smartest possible thing you could do is turn off the radio and run. Alastor’s mere existence in Hell probably tanked the popularity of radios while they were still on the rise in the living world. The Radio Demon is the worst thing that could have happened to radio.)

So, he gets what little cash he carries on him the same way he gets everything else: by taking it.
