Strange Brew by John Deering for August 15, 2020

So, where’s the toilet?

In Heaven ya don’t need one.

No masks, no social distancing and a religious gathering. They will be there before they know it.

Borne up there by angelfish, no doubt. Meanwhile, the devilfish thrash about.

shouldn’t he be floating upside down?

His life just “flushed” before his face.

Isn’t the deceased supposed to be wrapped in newspaper?

So much detail in this cartoon, the hat on the organist sells it.

Theology is a little lame. If you are going to put wings on the departed, at least make it a flying fish.

Bowled over by the prospect of an eternity in holy water. “He has gone to a better place”; congregation:“AFISH!”

Whatever floats their boat, er fish.

shouldn’t that fish bowl up there, be a toilet bowl?

And they buy this carp, hook, line and sinker.

In this case, he’s crossed over the Rainbow Dam

And it’s one, two, three, what’re we fightin’ four?

Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn.

The next stop is Vietnam.

And it’s five, six, seven, open up the Pearly Gates!

Oh, there ain’t no time to wonder why!

Whoopie! We’re all gonna die!

That.. is not where the remains of a flush go.

There’s something fishy about his sermon.

I thought that he would have been in his little castle.

They must be celebrating Goldie’s assumption into heaven…nice.

The hat and glasses! :D

There’s no bowl or cats or toilets in goldfish heaven.

That’s where I’m going, the great fish bowl in the sky!

I’ve often thought that the standard images of a Christian heaven seem… boring (or worse). I want something to DO… and I much prefer forms of music that include harps mainly as a background part, if at all.

If horses had gods, they would look like horses. – Xenophanes of Colophon (attr.)

Just as so many humans do, they take comfort in believing that there’s more to it than just this one life.

If there is no God, then who changes our water?
