Judas bein' kinda... ඞ
(As usual, no cartoon on next week on Good Friday. Tomics will be back on Easter Sunday!)
___
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
In the Bible, Judas decides to betray God (been there, amirite?) and leads a group of Jewish soldiers to arrest Jesus. He proposes they lie in wait for the right moment, when he -- Judas -- kisses Jesus in the garden to show them Who to arrest. The kiss is perfectly ironic, because it's a wholesome symbol of friendship being used as the signal for betrayal. CLASSIC! In this cartoon, however, we see the planning phase of Judas's big moment. Maybe it didn't seem as smooth and Shakespearian to the guards who just wanted to get it over with.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Huhuhu. You thought you'd get through Lent without one more "Tomics Resurrection" (where I take an old comic from my first few years of Tomics and reinvigorate it with MODERN TECHNIQUE and CUTTING EDGE STYLE)? Of course you did, FOOL that you are. Gaze upon the evidence of your FOOLISHNESS, Fool. Hmm? A question? Then speak, Fool, if you can. Hmm?! You ask, "In the original, Judas had a full beard, so where did that go in the update?" Well, I read somewhere in my ancient youth that Eastern icons are split on depicting Judas as one of the younger or older apostles, and so I gave him a patchy pseudo-beard to place him between his bearded and beardless friends in my comics. Hmm??! Another question, you say? You ask, "What about those Roman soldiers? Where did they go in the update?" HA! Simple. They were all TURNED INTO JEWS BY A WITCH to be more accurate to the modern scholarly consensus that it was probably just Jewish soldiers that arrested Jesus in the garden. Any more FOOLISH questions, FOOL?! One more? Proceed. Hmm?!?! You DARE ask, "How are you today?" FOOL! Now your FOOLISHNESS is surely at its zenith. You DARE to fool with ME? FOOL!!! I shall only entertain such impudence out of PITY and answer... "'S'all cool, fool."
