BIBLE STORIES by Rusty W. Spell. Author commentary for the comic strip Bible Stories, which tells the entire Bible, in order, in a four-panel Peanuts form. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. I'm often not this meta with the strip, but even Adam himself can't get around the fact that this story feels metaphorical. How could you take it literally even if you were involved in it yourself in real life? Thanks to John Milton, people tend to think of the tree as containing apples. When Milton wrote Paradise Lost.

BIBLE STORIES by Rusty W. Spell. Author commentary for the comic strip Bible Stories, which tells the entire Bible, in order, in a four-panel Peanuts form. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. I still wonder if this particular strip was a wise move, the reference to the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. The reference to Lucy the Australopithecus is fine, since it's not an allusion, just information that I assume everyone knows. In the end, I think I determined that 2001.

The first human (and penis! In the strip. The design of the characters is similar to those in my "Carrie". Comic, maybe even more basic and less stylized here. They're slightly fancy stick figures, which I wanted to be easy to manipulate. So here we have him: the first "man.". Links to this post. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. The refe...

BIBLE STORIES by Rusty W. Spell. Author commentary for the comic strip Bible Stories, which tells the entire Bible, in order, in a four-panel Peanuts form. Monday, June 27, 2011. Day six is when the land animals (including, eventually, humans) appear. This particular strip should give you an idea of how long a "day" is. The Bible, of course, doesn't have dinosaurs, but my strip does, since I felt they were important enough to be represented. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rusty Spell Dot Com.

BIBLE STORIES by Rusty W. Spell. Author commentary for the comic strip Bible Stories, which tells the entire Bible, in order, in a four-panel Peanuts form. Monday, May 16, 2011. As I said in the previous commentary, I'm going with the idea that the Son of God was the creator of the universe, but - as this strip demonstrates - it was done for God himself. Of course, the Son soon gets personally involved. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rusty Spell Dot Com. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

BIBLE STORIES by Rusty W. Spell. Author commentary for the comic strip Bible Stories, which tells the entire Bible, in order, in a four-panel Peanuts form. Sunday, May 29, 2011. Style vocal delivery and silly artistic expression, God comes in to put a stop to it, suggesting that there's a "right" way to do it. I'm with God on this one. Everywhere else in the strip, creation and the "interference" of the gods is more natural and limited. They're not what I would call "all-powerful.". Links to this post.

BIBLE STORIES by Rusty W. Spell. Author commentary for the comic strip Bible Stories, which tells the entire Bible, in order, in a four-panel Peanuts form. Saturday, December 17, 2011. But that's explained in the next comic, so I'll wait until we get there to talk about that. For now, I'll just say that I needed another character (not God, not the Son) to have this conversation with Adam. I chose a bird. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rusty Spell Dot Com.

Here is proof that cows were designated by God to be eaten. I put a lot of God's words to (eventually) humans here, which seems to work. The way the cow manure is drawn in the last panel is a reference to the DUSKBUSTERS! But you already knew that. Labels: Son of God. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
