Close to Home by John McPherson for January 03, 2022

What if he just wanted to brag?

AI has finally reached the Church.

BLEEB IS BACK!!! How ya doing buddy? Where ya been? Welcome to 2022.

Welcome back, Mr McPherson and Bleeb. I hope you both had delightful vacations.

Modern day confessional. A representative will be with you shortly. We appreciate your business. Our lines are very busy today, for faster service email us at ………………..

Bleeb will hear your confession, now!

He says to say three Hail Mary’s and two Our Father’s, and next confession bring some Red Bull and Scooby Snacks, ‘cause this one was a little long!

Oh for Heaven sakes!

Sure, why not. It seems like we do most of our sinning online these days. Might as well confess to the internet as well.

Which does about as much good, as if there was someone to listen. Sin: an imaginary disease invented, so that they can sell you an equally imaginary cure.

For english stay on the line and someone will be with you after you complete this 20 minute survey. Your call is important to us. (Well sort of.)

Welcome back, John! I confess (no pun intended) I never get tired of reading the older comics but missed the new ones AND Bleeb.

You don’t have to confess to a father, you can confess to The Father.

“Your priest did not believe in COVID. Please dial 9 to added to the guest list for his funeral”.

Sorry, but your body’s warranty has expired. You forgot to renew it.

WELCOME BACK, BLEEB!

Tsk, tsk, tsk. If you’re going to design a phone menu system, at least make it logical. Number the options to correspond to the 10 commandments. (“0” can be used for the 10th).

If a Priest isn’t available, start the talk with God and talk to the priest when one is free…..

Or looking for some leads?

“For murder confession, stay on the line and a police….er I mean, “professional” will come and assist you

For absolution, press Q.

Looks like Bleeb is a little bit lost, I guess he’s new at this.

Where can I buy my “get out of purgatory free” card?

P: For your penance…

C: Hey now! Busy, busy, busy. Gotta run and get back to doing more of what I was doing. Just put it on my tab.

It’s enough to make you want to change your religion.

Bleeb is back! Hooray!

“For English speakers, press one. Pro loquentibus Latinis, preme duos.”

Bleeb is there.

Nu? Boychik, it’s not just ME you have to atone to, it’s your fellow humans who you’ve mistreated. Perhaps AA has it right all along. --God

If he requests the operator, does it go to St. Peter?
