Once again a parent-inspired cartoon.

I changed my mind on submitting this for this months' EN. Partly I was really pushed for time and I did most of it in the dark with absurbly minimal amounts of sleep, and partly I did it because I really like this style of work and want to continue pushing it in future work if at all possible.
Anyways - this is a meditation on how I want my hands to be like His hands.

EN21 Three Fathers: ASBO, Absent and Heavenly.
The Bible epilogue text can be found here and here (you may have to scroll down a bit to find the exact part...).
Anti Social Behaviour Orders might well be an effective measure for preventing crime, but if you look further back in each persons history, where are the Dad's who provide a loving context for discipline and nurture? The strip points toward God as the ultimate father who can repair the damage.
I like the 'pof' frame as the missile is launched from the Bible.
It is interesting that I got a complaint from one gentleman for the language being used in the title. He felt that it was inappropriate to use sacred references in this way. I had to respectfully disagree - I think that once you get into 'sacred' forms of language you are heading into the direction of holy places, a view that I think the Bible refutes quite heavily in the new testament.
EN15 Reconciliation

The Bible epilogue text can be found here (you may have to scroll down a bit to find the exact part...).
The story in Luke is known as the 'Prodigal' or lost son. It is about family reunion after some difficult times. This is a slightly different take on that story about something which happened to me. The most helpful thing to say here is that part of the key for me to find reconciliation in the particular situation required letting go of past baggage - hence the bin.
This has very little text for good reason. I think it works well as it is.
