M. Leary Report post Posted June 19, 2006 I saw this this weekend, and have been laughing ever since. Must be the funniest comic ever: Quote "...the vivid crossing of borders between film and theology may save the film from the banality of cinema and festival business, and it may also save the church from the deep sleep of the habitual and the always known."

Greg P Report post Posted June 19, 2006 Shrigley is awesome. A real genius with a long background in the evangelical church, BTW.One piece of his that i saw recently also made me laugh out loud. It was a pink sheet of lined note paper with the words: Stop the lapdance I want to go home .

Overstreet Report post Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) Any Callahan fans here? Some of his comics, when I call them to mind, can ruin a whole day by making me unable to push them back out of my mind. Problem is, they are the farthest thing from P.C., and I wouldn't feel comfortable posting them here... Edited June 19, 2006 by Jeffrey Overstreet Quote P.S. I COULD BE WRONG.

Christian Report post Posted September 17, 2007 Those of you in Boston, Houston, Seattle, Las Vegas, Toronto and Portland, Ore., among others, are in for a treat. You now can read the syndicated strip, Cul de Sac:Read all about it. Then read "it" -- the actual strip. It's pretty great.From the linked story:Getting a strip syndicated is a big deal, and this one might be a bigger deal than most. The re-launch of "Cul de Sac" has drawn an unsolicited endorsement from none other than Bill Watterson, the creator of the now-retired mega-strip "Calvin and Hobbes," a man so famously reclusive that he's listed by name in the Wikipedia entry on "recluses." Watterson never comments on anything. But about "Cul de Sac" he wrote: "I have high hopes that Thompson will bring a much-needed jolt of energy to the daily newspaper. We have a real talent here." Quote "What matters are movies, not awards; experiences, not celebrations; the subjective power of individual critical points of view, not the declamatory compromises of consensus." - Richard Brody, "Godard's Surprise Win Is a Victory for Independent Cinema," The New Yorker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBBCanada Report post Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) Opus point this site out June 19th. Here's the latest one: WulffmorgenthalerYou HAVE to read the comments on this comic strip. I put site in my favs. Edited November 8, 2007 by BBBCanada Quote Brandon "God is so great and merciful that he does not require that we name him precisely. God is even willing to be anonymous for a time. Remember how God led the Three Wise Men from the East to Christ? The Wise Men did not know the God of Israel or Jesus. They worshipped the stars. So God used a star to lure them."--The Twelve Steps for Christians Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
