Is that a “no”?

Poor snake

The Bible just calls it the forbidden fruit, not an apple; it was later post-Biblical tradition that made it an apple. The change may have been influenced by the story of the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides. It’s debatable if apples were even naturalised to the Middle East back when the story was first developed.

I wonder if the phrase was originally, “An apple a day keeps the Devil away”, and they changed it to “doctor away” because, hey, no one likes doctors!

The forbidden fruit was from the tree of knowledge as I recall. Eve became aware of her nakedness as was ashamed. The message I took from it was the people who wrote the book wanted people to not to seek knowledge.

On the Sistine Chapel ceiling (between 1508 and 1512), Michelangelo made it figs . .

Even apples don’t like snakes. Wow vicious apple. Oh No! The new movie “Attack of the Killer Apples”.

Lord, I apologize for that there, and… be with the starving pygmies in New Guinea, amen.

Apple Batter?

Now you’re even.

A lot of the strips they have run lately are classics from my childhood. They are bringing back many great memories.

feel a little sorry for the snake, but,if I ran across one who didn’t move I suspect my reaction would be similar

Great drawing of the snake in the second panel!

Harmful meme

Welcome to the Paleolithic. Our motto, “We hate snakes!”

Payback can be a painful experience!

The apple shall bruise the serpent’s head, and the serpent shalt bruise his heel

First of the month. Here we go again with no strips. We’ll see how long this gap lasts. Uggghhhh!

Yet another reason to prefer Android… :D

… And here we go again! The first of the month and Back to BC hits a snag.

B.C. – Broken Comic.

How I discover it is the first of the month.

We already did the “Attack of the Killer Apples”

Somebody kick it, it’s stuck again…
