Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for June 09, 2022

Billy turned out to become a religious cult leader.

“They’ll Do It Every Time”

So, Billy’s family are republicans, right?

Heretic sum! The true Kindness day is Friday!

Next panel:

God: “Well, that’s OK then. Carry on.”

Dang, God-Man! How many CDs do you have, anyhow?

You didn’t say be kind to Those People, now didja?

There’s only one rule that I know of, babies. God-Mandammit, you’ve got to be kind.

“You gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure…”

Back to the good old days of the Monophysite and Arian heresies.

It’s wicked of me, I know, but I get a lot of amusement out of the ferociously bitter quartodecimarian controversy that (w)racked the early Church, i.e. the question of when Easter should be celebrated. (Spoiler alert: important early Christian thinkers strenuously argued against “celebrating Easter” at all, on the very reasonable grounds that every Friday is a celebration (as it were) of the crucifixion, and every Sunday a celebration of the resurrection, and it’s theologically as well as rationally incomprehensible to nominate any particular Friday/Sunday as special somehow. But alas, many see paradox as prime proof of sacerdness.)

“And I said ‘Die, heretic!’ and pushed him over.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3fAcxcxoZ8

Love that God Man!!!

Oh God-Man, You should have increased the amount of empathy when You were creating humans. And the amount of critical intelligence. What, You didn’t create us?

Billy is obviously an Old Testament kind of guy…

Ironically, the baby’s name is Ruby.

No new strip for June 10th?

Hm, no new strip this week?

And God-man rescues the babe, and returns her to grateful parents. Then, on her 11th birthday, they complete her indoctrination into their faith with the Tuesdists ritual of removing one of her hands.

There was a new Tom The Dancing Bug this week. GoComics is not showing it, even to premium members, and they should explain why.
