Here is a remarkably non-threatening series of vintage illustrations designed to instruct children about the dangers of the seven deadly sins.
Angels also weep for the slothful:

I’m not sure why the girl in the patchwork dress appears *stunned* at Little Ms. Pride. At any rate, the squirrel is amused.

For the remaining sins, go to Rev Guzman’s flickr set.

oh there is nothing more sinful and disturbing than a child sleeping peacefully with a kitten on its tummy! especially having fallen asleep reading!
*prays for her salvation*

And the angel is so upset about it!
I rather like the little girl’s patchwork dress!
Although, I do imagine she’s stunned because she probably never hada dolly, and her’s this girl with *two* of them!
Amazing! I am from Mexico and we used to read this book and more from this series! I used to love them I really didn’t care about the angels’ feelings but the graphics and colors are so beautiful and the demons on the cover are so stylish!
The angel looks so sad, too!
´´Oh my goodness gracious Karen! Are you sleeping? At 4 PM of the afternoon?! KAREN YOU HAVE HOMEWORK, KAREN!!! YOU HAVE HOMEWORK. THINK OF YOUR FUTURE KAREN
*Sobs loudly*
