. . . you know you’d find something like this. Here’s is one of the funniest (and most sarcastic) cartoons about religion I’ve ever seen, conveyed in a recent tw**t by Dave Stewart and forwarded by reader Barry.
Given the name in the lower corner, it appears to be by the German cartoonist Martin Perscheid, whose website is here.
lol-worthy.
How quickly we dismiss the arthropodal principle that clearly signifies the existence of a metaphysical roach as evidenced by the abundance of Blattodea.
He was smooshed for our sins.
LOL
Let us turn to page 48 as brother big leads is in “The Old Rugged Boot” …
Being a “fisher of men’s soles” didn’t work out so well for this deity.
😀
So we can say that in this faithfull sect of bugs, that they believe that SATAN is the Orkin man?
Did Gary Larson secretly change his name to Martin Perscheid and move to Germany?
That’s what I thought too.
Perscheid’s style has been compared to Larson’s even in Germany:
But roaches don’t think much of cats.

Fat Freddie’s cat was always one of my favorites…!
I don’t know. Archy (the cockroach) and Mehitabel (the cat) got along.
Archy’s most famous line occurs in “archy talks to mars” wherein he says, “i am brunet and stand over six feet.”
Though you’d have to go back a bit in years for those references:

That’s a good one!
And you say there’s no such thing as the immortal sole.
This is one of my all time favorite cartoons. Yes, I keep a file on my desktop for those days when…
The poor little roach had to carry that boot on his back all the way up a hill before being summarily squashed alongside a couple of criminal roaches.
Then two thousand years later another roach directed a gory historical drama about the whole thing and how it was the fault of the millipede. Thankfully he was blackballed from the industry for making disgraceful anti-millipedic slurs after being caught drink-driving.
How many times you squash a roach, go to get some cleaning stuff, come back and the roach is gone?
I bet this one remained dead for three days until it disappeared!
On the third day he rose – and spent the next three days banging into a nearby window.
I’m pretty sure the roach god is the same one the Western religions claim is their creator — after all, he/she/it created many more roaches than people!
Asexual reproduction (‘virgin birth’) is known in roaches, according to an article in Nature.
He was squished for our sins.
Blessed are the crumb makers.
Ouch!
Crush-tianity…

What a way to roach heaven!
I wonder if he got a harp or 72 virgins?
A similar cartoon won the “Frecher Mario” (naughty Mario) prize in 2012.

That’s also a great one!
Reminds me more than a little of this great SMBC cartoon.
