I actually sent two versions of this strip to the newspapers. In the other version, Tuttle’s words in the last panel were large (in case the small lettering wasn’t legible when the strip was reduced down for the papers). The one newspaper I heard from used the small print version. Shortly after drawing this strip, we went to a church party where someone had set up cornhole and they put the boards way further away than we’re used to playing. I felt like Phydeaux.
As a kid, I wasn’t a Baptist (still not), but I used to wonder why verses other than the 1st, 2nd and last were in the songs since no one (that I could tell) ever sang them.
There are certain Bible stories we never have the kids act out but, admit it: the little boys would probably enjoy playing out the more gruesome stories.
I have found that it is fashionable in some circles to bash Lucado’s books saying the theology is simplistic. I think those who say so just want to dismiss his work and not deal with it.
