Kliban by B. Kliban for December 18, 2020

I don’t remember mention of giant slingshots to get them there, though.

They are not going anywhere. They were just ejected.

A bit of eschatology.

I can see up your dress!

Fly away, fly away, fly away all…

The day God repealed the law of gravity

The Book of Revelations as interpreted by B. Kliban.

Although belief in a “rapture” started in the mid-1800s, it didn’t become start to become ubiquitous until after Reagan, with the rise of the religious right. It’s possible that Kliban had no idea that some Christians believed exactly this (if you exclude all those non-Christians, of course).

And all with their noses in the air, I see…

I thought there was going to be a sweet chariot.

I’ll be meeting with all my friends somewhere else.

Remember that episode of Six Feet Under? The one with the truck of sex dolls inflated with helium for a trade show that got hit in a fender bender, releasing the dolls?

I’m captivated by Kliban’s remarkable drawing style, but I almost never see the point.

Maybe heaven sucks. No slingshot required.

The world was moving she was, right there with it and she was…
