Fetus Christ

Merry Easter!

Thanks for reading Fetus Christ. If you enjoyed reading it half as much as I enjoyed making it, then… well I guess I had twice as much fun as you did. Fetus Christ is just scratching the surface of the projects I am working on for Holy Comics! The closest to this one in terms [...]

The Rest is History

What?! You think that priest looks like me? Nonsense! What kind of egotist would put himself into his stories? (I’ll tell you what kind: the kind who would use his own sex life as the basis for a porno-graphic-novel… but that’s for later.) Anyway. This brings the epic saga of Fetus Christ to a close. [...]

A Bottle in Front of Me

Alcoholic poet Dorothy Parker is commonly credited with a rather clever spoonerism: “I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.” I’m forced to agree with her. As evidenced by… the bottle in front of me. Hell, I’d even substitute a juice box (like the li’l disciples here) for the bottle, [...]

No, Literally

Did you know that Judas was a red-head? It’s true. At least it’s a part of long-standing church lore, which (according to the Vatican) is pretty much the same thing. But he didn’t really have a Justin Bieber haircut. Oh, be quiet, Justin haters. He isn’t anything like Judas Iscariot. He’s more like the Anti-Christ. [...]

Palm Sunday

Seriously: Do you really think I could pass up a verbal gag like “Palm Sunday”? I just got a brilliant idea for how to extend Fetus Christ, beyond the originally-planned 18 pages, into a 300-page epic. It’ll mean retooling the last few pages I’ve been working on, but it’ll allow me to do a full-length [...]

Bush v. Gore

This is not obscene. It isn’t pornographic. It wasn’t even all that fun to draw. While I have strong feelings (pro/con) about Bush and Gore, I’m indifferent to bush and gore. To be honest, I was a little intimidated about drawing this page. Although I am not entirely without experience with the female of the [...]

Murder, They Vote

OK, a little overt political commentary here; skip it if you have a problem with that. One of the most callous side effects of the efforts to outlaw abortion would be its impact on miscarriages. Because if a fetus is a “person”, and aborting one is “murder”, then any miscarriage that wasn’t obviously the result [...]

Mother and Child Reunion

If there’s one thing that’s true of every great villain (at least in fantasy fiction), it’s that they’re never as easy to get rid of you as you think they’ll be. You might assume that you’ve seen the last of them, but when you least expect it… they’re back! The inability to get away from [...]

Good Works… Or Does It?

OK, so I included a cheap-shot contemporary political gag. So sue me. After all, it’s not as if this whole story isn’t a contemporary socio-political commentary. Give me points for not giving this Palin look-alike 21st century glasses like the abortive governor of Alaska. A big chunk of the Gospels – and apparently Jesus’ ministry – [...]

Small Miracles

This could have been a Watchmen-length graphic novel. Plenty of material for it. But I decided not to. Hence, this montage-style highlight reel. Fetus Christ is trying to salvage as much of his plans as possible. That includes the Sermon on the Mount (which actually talked about the meek, and not so much about the [...]
