Remember Garfield Minus Garfield? I feel like this version of Christianity is Bible Minus Jesus

In 1979, the βNew York Timesβ asked Isaac Bashevis Singer if he planned to watch the Super Bowl.
I thought this was counter-programming for the half-time show? Are they not airing it at the same time?
I converted to Catholicism a couple weeks ago. Hereβs what I think Jesus got wrong.
Ooo, I need to see that one. My favorite is Grand Budapest Hotel, but my appreciate for his movies in general is certainly growing.

Welcome to February. As a reminder, under no circumstances should you make major life decisions this month that are not strictly required of you.

Blue 5.5x8.5β zine with pink cover image of Far Side βCow toolsβ cartoon but the cow has Dennis the Menaceβs head. Title text: Dennis Tools
Cartoon: Dennis at the door holding a hose, pointing behind him at a kid washing a car, his mom looking on in distress Caption: "Sally, this is Larry and his brother, Eddie.... Larry used to be an only child until the gardener hacked him in half."
Cartoon 1: Dennis in class whispering to classmate Caption 1: βNow here comes the barbaric finale.β Cartoon 2: Dennis at church with his parents talking to the priest Caption 2: βWow, this place is really packedβor maybe itβs just my compound eyes.β
Cartoon: Dennis looking at a globe with two other children Caption: βOf course, long before you mature, most of you will be eaten.β
