As I mentioned before, I was heavily involved in publishing Christian comics and graphic novels years ago.  Initially it was a very grassroots effort and then towards the end, we were working with Zondervan.  I recently came across this quasi-political cartoon I drew of the nature of Christian comics and, of course, my own personal nature.The image of the little boy is a charicature of myself handing Jesus one of my “Christian” comics.  The boy is pleased thinking Jesus will be proud of him, but in truth, the comic is full of the nasty things the boy still likes.  But he thinks Jesus will like it too because now the comic book has Jesus’ name on the cover.  As you know, the common themes in secular comics are demons, violence and porn.  This cartoon is a commentary on how my work and the work of the Christian comic community wasn’t anything different than what you could find from secular publishers.In interviews I always said that because we serve a living God, we would have better stories to tell… but I have yet to see in the Christian community something that isn’t a copy of the secular world.  Oh, I believe there are exceptions out there, but it is extremely rare.After much contemplation, I believe the reason why I wasn’t able to deliver anything new myself is because, in truth, I wasn’t new.  I still love all of the things of this world… so, like the cartoon, Jesus accepts my offering with a kind smile but still waits… hoping he’ll get to be the art director.
