But the bigger question is what would have possibly justified the life of Christ? I know, I know, desert fairy tales and what-not, but still, pretty improbably and factually far from verifiable. Mostly this comic is just me being a dick.

Hey man, this isn't me being a smartass, it's all in the best-selling book very few have ever actually read. It's in the public domain, so well it should be shared far and wide, but dig into it guys, there's some really insane stuff in there.

Just another example from Deuteronomy about how absurd the Bible is. I know, I know, Jesus forgave the sins, but God called them out in the first place. You really need a messiah to say this isn't bullshit? Come on people, get real.

Recycled art from the previous cartoon with a fresh background and little else (faces, sure, but other than that.) Seriously, why is Jesus always portrayed as a WASPy fellow, when we all know he was an Isreali desert Jew? Surely he looked nothing like the renaissance paintings, which made him out to be contemporary (to the time) Italian.

This one took 3-4 hours to do the art. There's a lot of copy/pasting, but it still killed me, especially the shading. I worked from photographs to get everything right, and this is as close to realism as I think I'll ever get. And yeah, I still can't draw hands. Meh, I think we can get over it.

The last (for now) in the missionary doorstep series. Not much new here, save for the joke. Yes, my mother actually said this to missionaries.

I feel like this series of cartoons should have a bible in hand, but I'm not about to go back and add it. If I was a professional, you know, an ACTUAL cartoonist, I surely would... but I'm not.

The funny here is Catholicism, which doesn't really proselytize in North America. Anything ill you do can be absolved by confession. Protestants do it too, but by elimitating the middle man. Just tell Jesus you're sorry, and it's all good, bro.

I've never understood this. When someone says in court that god or Jesus told them to do something, how is it that they're not taken away in shakels for being clearly insane. Hearing voices?

Seriously, why can't we do this? We know there are countless benefits to communing in such ways. Can't we forget that it's a religious thing and just get together to help one another?

It's ridiculous. I can see why they don't preach this stuff in Sunday school, it's horrific, but they also fail to even hint at it in grown-up church?

It's a long comic, but it's a copy/paste from an earlier anti-Christian screed, though with new arms, background colors, etc. This took a lot of work, but it deserved it.

This one is almost wholly recycled art, though it's all MY art, so there's that. Changed the eyes, arms text and background color, but that's it.

Virginia recently had a kerfuffle about banning/legalizing sodomy. This is supposed to be the state "for lovers"... but lovers of what? Boring, vanilla sex? Come on Virginia, you're way too far north for that.

My apologies for the length, but the book I drew from is somewhat long-winded. This one was a doozy. I had this idea that defending homophobia because of obscure Old Testament was strange, but I didn't realize quite what odd company the passage kept.

There's a lot of copy/pasting in here, but it's still 100% original artwork. I'd like to say it's the only one this long you'll ever see, but I have a follow-up coming for the rest of the Bible.

I wondered about the stats on marriage by religious affiliation. Turns out Jews have the highest divorce rates, followed by born-again Christians. Atheists are basically at the bottom of the list.

I imagine this is likely to be more or less my style from here out. Probably will add ears though.

This joke comes from five years of studying the absurdity of the Bible. Everything said is totally accurate as the Good Book presents it.

This is a joke I thought up when I was a teenager. Proud of it then - proud of it now.

Everything is 100% me. All the art, the coloring, the hair, everything. Even the eyes are from the template I made, though I distorted (warped) and overlapped them to make them unique.

Was listening to some pretty amazing mental gymnastics by a Christian apologist, and unfortunately, I had too much info already in my head to just let it slide. I know I'll get a slew of corrections from people smarter than me, but this simple expression of verifiable (falsifiable) science just had to be shared.

My first use of distorted panels beyond a 4-panel setup. I laid it out in 4 drafts on paper before working it up using the WARP tool, plus some labor intensive cleanup to make it actually work. Nearly everything is my work, though you can likely tell which parts are which.

My first single-panle comic, and I'd hoped it would be an artistic masterpiece, based on everything I'd learned in recent days, but it was simply not meant to be.

I was pretty proud of this one. Got it out just in time for Easter 2013. Still afraid it could be seen as racist, which was NOT my intention. My point was the each culture has their own absurdities. I added a lot more color for this one, and introduced some Clip Art, and I think it worked.

FAQ

How do you make your comics?
Badly, if at all. I do layer upon layer in PhotoShop Elements, which I got free with a pen tablet. I'll get Adobe Illustrator soon enough, just don't have the budget for it just yet, or the capacity to figger it out.

Where did you learn your mad skillz?
Mostly nowhere, but I lean pretty heavily on photographs, then try to replicate them... badly. I've learned a lot from a decade of using Photoshop at various jobs, which helps streamline the process. I like to look at existing art and photos and sketch it out from there, though it doesn't always work the way I'd like.

Where do you draw your inspiration?
Only from the best. The Far Side, xkcd, explosm, the Atheist Pig and too many more to mention.

Come on, who actually asks these questions?
Nobody yet. Just trying to stay ahead of the curve.
