    personally, i like the chapter right after this one. it's the water into wine part. 😉

    Jesus definitely had a sense of humor that we often overlook. One of my favorites is the saying about a camel going through the eye of a needle… so random, and such a funny image, ha ha. (It's in reference to how difficult it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.)

      Maybe Jesus really did mean a camel going through the eye of a needle and was joking.

    Enjoy your comic. Concerning your strip on 11/4/11: You left out the last sentence of the 50th verse, "You will see greater things than these." The 51st verse continues, And He said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." __I can see the humorwhen the last sentence is omitted, not so much if it had been included.__Take care & God bless.

    • Darrin Bell says:

      I left it out because (a) it's funnier without it, as you said, (b) it doesn't alter the meaning because what Jesus goes on to say is already implicit in the "fig tree" preface, and (c) if the BIble is accurate, I think Jesus had a dry sense of humor that people usually overlook, and I wanted to zero in on the funny part of his statement.

    Matthew 1

    1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

    2Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;

    15And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;

    16And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

    17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

    18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

    I always thought that somebody (not just Matthew) was unclear on the conception.

      Actually, the Muslims say it was "one of ours" who fathered Jesus. Who knows. God uses people to do His job on earth, right? Speaking through the prophets and all? Speaking through a burning bush? What's the shock if it jumped to Holy Sperm. In fact, a woman can get pregnant with a hyman still intact, which would make her a medical virgin. This would be a sense of humor, right?

    Mr. Bell — I love your comic strip, and I was so glad Lemont won his custody case for his son. But now he is going to have to be involved with child care every day, potty training, staying up all night when the little one has an earache, calling in sick when the little one is sick, making sure the little guy doesn't fall off the roof when Lemont is up there with his best friend … eh?? When is the young person going to start appearing in most if not all the strips and when are we going to see Lemont's life as a single dad? — A fan (who is a parent) in NC
