Bizarro is brought to you today by The Holy Family.Today's theme is religion as all but the too-dense-to-be-reading-this-blog can easily see. As a vegan, I hate to promote any good news about cheese, but this pun was too much fun to pass up so I made an exception. If this were the shape of the folks who pester you at home you could answer the door with a giant cracker and scare the hell out of them.
Speaking of Hell, here's a ditty from the archives, from December of '96. This cartoon was requested by a friend who claims it as her favorite. She found it in my book, "Life is Strange and So Are You." It's out of print, as all my books are because you people don't buy enough books, but you can likely still find copies of it if you search online. Amazon may even have some.
This cartoon was from the time before I had learned to color my own work on computer, so I was doing it the old-fashioned way, which was to send the black and white version to the printer with elaborate numbers all over it telling them where to put various percentages of blue, red, yellow, and black. Coloring these things with numbers was an art form all it's own and you never knew what you were going to get until it came out in the paper. This one is ugly as hell, which is apropos. If I were doing it today, it would look so much better.
By the way, this depiction of "heck" is based on a visit to my grandparents' house. They suffered every day of their lives sitting on plastic-covered furniture, but when they died, it was as beautiful and new as the day it was bought. Praise Cheeses.

my grandparents were the total opposite. Whiskey, cigarette smoke, USA up all night movie marathons, polish swear words, and too many games of poker. it was the good kind of hell.
That is the color of heck.
The cheeses in the first cartoon look a bit like Reverend Preacherbot from Futurama, in a KKK robe, and with a moon-surface face.

Since you were going on vacation, I didn't bother to check your blog every day. Now, I had to look at 8 fresh cartoons in a row !?!
Jesus loves you- go to the church of your choice, and wait.
ah ha ha dude ive been trying to work out a cheeses joke for a while without bringing a lightning strike down. well done you have sidestepped it beautifully
When my nephew was in the 1st grade, his class had to write a paragraph about their favorite parts of Christmas. Tommy wrote that his favorite part was "The Baby Cheeses. He was born on a deck." (Apparently the wood slats of the manger looked like a deck to Tommy.) After 12 or 13 years, that still cracks the family up.
My grandmother left a sofa that was covered with plastic slipcovers and had slipcovers on top of that. Years later when the slipcovers were removed there was nothing but "dust" under the layers.
