Radio Free Babylon and Coffee with Jesus

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Do you like cartoons? Specifically cartoons that appear in newspapers? Those little short ones that have a homely sense of wit about them? Then you'll love Radio Free Babylon.

Of course they do a bit more, with blogging and "Street Scenes" (inserting an astronaut character into various locations), plus some humorous one-off pictures. But the main draw - and the reason I made this topic - is "Coffee with Jesus," a short 4-square comic in which a small group of friends (and occasionally the Devil) sit around and chat with the Son of Man Himself. Don't be alarmed, this is a Christian creation, so there's nothing blasphemous. Sometimes the characters have strong opinions, and the Devil will fling his barbs, but the Lord always has the last word. Everything looks like it was taken from a religious tract, which I believe accentuates the humor; Jesus, of course, looks a bit doctored, but it doesn't subtract from anything. I'm subscribed to them on Facebook, and I love getting a new one every couple of days. They're actually quite smart and provocative - Jesus may not always say what you want to hear, but it's worth hearing. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

If you don't want to sift through a back catalog that may be difficult to manage, there's two fine paperback collections of these comics available to buy on Amazon, both in Kindle and paperback. I may not have them myself (yet), but as I love these comics, I highly recommend them.

I just read through a bunch of those comics. I enjoyed them. I remember seeing these a long time ago but had forgotten about them. Thanks for the heads up!
