The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for January 26, 2022

But Muhammad read the obits first.

As a commie freak I resent this comparison. Seize the means of funnies production! – Karl Marx, probably.

I get up at 4am just so I have TIME to read Go Comics before I have to start getting ready for the rest of my day.

The smartest people read the comics first.

I read some comics for insight and some comics for laughs….and I also read The Big Picture.

But they read them in the original Swahili…

And I bet they laughed and had fun too.

You just can’t trust someone who doesn’t read the comics!! I’ll bet that guy didn’t become a millionaire.

Muhammad, probably. Jesus, most definitely. Buddah, depends on the day.

I stopped reading the New York Post because they stopped printing comics. I also despised their politics but they have a great gossip section.

I wouldn’t trust a person who doesn’t read the comics any more than I would trust someone who says they don’t like chocolate!

Buddha, Muhammad, and Jesus, eh? That immediately puts me in mind of an outrageously funny comic called Jesus and Mo. It is wicked. And sometimes actually profound. In one of them, Jesus responds to a doctrinal challenge from Mo with what he thinks is a knockout argument, citing the “empty tomb” as proving his resurrection. Mo responds that it’s a logical absurdity, since the “empty tomb” is part of the story. That would be like saying that the Yellow Brick Road proves the existence of the City of Oz.

If he doesn’t read the comics, I bet he doesn’t listen to music either. The heathen.
