Balloon Talk #10
Remember the Calvinistic Cartoons K.I.T. formula - Keep It Theological. I will pick one comment that I think is funny and fill in the balloon giving credit to the "winner". Don't worry about the size of the balloon, I can adjust it to your dialog. Just keep it short as possible. Only fill in the one balloon - don't add other dialog from someone else in the photo. Have fun and enjoy the laughs!
"Would you look at that, someone actually doesn't believe Harold Camping's October prediction."
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm confused. This newspaper said that Barack Obama was elected President by the American people. I can get how the American people were able to foreknow that Barack chose to be President, but didn't McCain also choose to be President?
ReplyDelete"Take a look, Alfred! According to this article here, the Joker announced his intention to target CC Headquarters next!"
ReplyDelete"I tell you, if Rob Bell came to me touting that 'Love Wins' hogwash, I'd have booted him out of this very window myself... even if it is on the 44th floor of the building!"
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, looking at this picture reminds me of The Hudsucker Proxy (1994). The man at the desk could be Paul Newman himself, reading accounts of his boss's death in the newspaper. :D
ReplyDelete"The Dallas Morning News just isn't the same without Eddie Eddings 'tulip' artwork."
ReplyDeleteHey! I've looked through this entire paper and still cannot find Calvinistic Cartoons anywhere. Get me the editor on the phone; I'm buying this paper!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Brown, come here please and tell me you also think Og from Alley Oop looks just like that Eddie Eddings character.
ReplyDelete"What do you mean, I look like an Arminian?! Is that supposed to be an insult?!"
ReplyDelete"Jack! Jack, ol' boy! Your old school mate just got schooled by Martin Bashir!"
ReplyDeleteSays here in the paper that Dr. Piper interviewed Rick Warren. Then on the editorial page, Driscoll calls Piper a meat-eating vegetarian. Can't wait to get to the cartoon section!
ReplyDelete"Oh yeah? Well, TULIP yourself."
ReplyDeleteIt says here that "over 100,000 packed Yankee Stadium last night to hear Billy Graham call sinners to repentance." It looks like 1957 will go down as the year that the Big Apple became a Christian city.
ReplyDeleteEr, uh, I'll be right there. I was just finishing my morning prayers and devotion. Got an important message this Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Baptist Church across town is building a whole water park just for this summer. Betty, get those people at Purpose Driven on the line to see how we can top that!
ReplyDelete"Why are you looking at me like that? So what if I happen to think Rob Bell has excellent fashion tastes?"
ReplyDelete"Marge, did you hear about Benny Finney's blog burning to the ground?"
ReplyDelete"James, bring me the brainwash, please! I just read something that convicted me of my sin."
ReplyDelete...a little background on the Chris Hensley comment...
ReplyDeleteI used to do "political type" cartoons for the Employment section of the Dallas Morning News. By that I mean each day I would draw a cartoon based on the lead article of that section of the paper.
Well, for years I "hid" the word "TULIP" or drew tulips in each and every piece of art. Sometimes I included the names of Calvinist theologians and preachers.
One day, I recieved a call from a local rag sheet about this and they interviewed me over the phone. The next week they ran a feature in their paper entitled, "A Calvinist at the Dallas Morning News!"
Word got around and my new supervisor (who knew nothing about artists and wanted to make a statement) called me in and suspended me without pay, called me in to the office three days later and fired me.
There is more to the story but, I have not the time to finish it right now.
"Henry, get in here! Martin's gone over the deep end! He nailed a massive list of mumbo-jumbo to the door of some church!"
ReplyDeleteDear, how long have they been advertising Church Services in the Entertainment section?
ReplyDelete@ Joel: LOVE your 5th suggestion, the Martin nails it one!
ReplyDelete@ Eddie, you're a man after my own heart; I'd have loved to have done this subversive TULIP thing if I was a cartoonist (I can't draw to save my life)! Please tell us more......!
@Joel: Love the Martin Luther one. That and the brainwash one.
ReplyDeleteLaugh it up, Calvinists, just you wait.
ReplyDeleteI could sure go for a milk, man!
@Joel: "Henry, get in here..."
ReplyDeleteBwahahahaha!
Hey, How did Deuteronomy 22:5 make "Thought for the day" in the "Androgynoville Morning News"?
ReplyDeleteGlad y'all enjoyed the Luther one.
ReplyDelete@Inky: Thanks, but that wasn't actually on purpose. :-P It worked out good, though.
Actually, it worked out insanely good. Too much so.
Woohoo!
Even a fool on Wall Street who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
ReplyDeleteMiss Mephisto. Where did this newspaper come from?...and___why is it smoldering?
ReplyDeleteThanks Eddy.
ReplyDeleteThank YOU, FCC...and thanks EVERYONE for all the laughs you bring to the table!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, FCC!
