Comics I Don’t Understand

Curl Up and Laugh

This doesn’t strictly qualify for the Synchronicity File, since the comics appeared two days apart (Brevity on Friday and Monty on Sunday), but I’m going to stretch the rules a bit because, well… curling…

Sacrilegious Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Nov 17th 2008

L.B. Wylie: I’m generally confused by how Christians seem to be one of the only groups of any sort (religious, ethnic, or otherwise) who are always fair game, and are flatly characterized as uptight and oversensitive and humorless if we don’t laugh at whatever jokes are made about us – especially when the majority of the “jokes”, which some could characterize as sacrilegious or heresy, come from those outside of the faith… Resorting to unprovoked cheap (and not even very funny) jokes about someone else’s savior seems to me to potentially be an even lower form of humor than puns. Humor based on pretty much anything else about a religion but the savior is fair game as far as I’m concerned, but – in a culture where the Braves mascot was deemed inexcusably offensive – I think Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, etc. deserve the same respect.
