. . . and in a comic strip of all places! God has chosen to reveal His long-enigmatic plan in the latest edition of Pie Comic, by John McNamee. And it makes about as much sense as we thought all along.
Isn’t it great to see comics (even though they’re not in the daily papers) be so strident?

I love the crossing out of forehead arms and the question mark around Hitler.
Hitler was an evangelical with a military and a messianic fever to change the world.(His regime was a cross over between the Inquisition and Crusaders and the new age of biology and missiles.) By fire and blood. He sure did, but fortunately failed. Hitler made the mistake of thinking because he was smart in some areas, he was smart in others. After 1942 the British recognized this and stopped trying to kill him.
If we aren’t careful we can turn into the next incarnation of the Inquisition and Crusaders.
If there’s a major error here it’s that Forehead arms is brilliant.
Maybe if you have a man’s neck – it made me think constant neck and back ache! 🙂
Evolution works in mysterious ways.
And there could be cool hats that have counter weights to aid the neck. Imagine tool use with a forehead arm!
Everyone would be much better at basketball!
Uh, unless you had to dribble with your forehead arm…
The only downside is the smell of armpit right above the nose.
LOL!
As an engineer, I can say that a forehead arm would be fairly useless for structural reasons. Any attempt to use it for exerting force (like lifting anything for example) would have to transmit the whole load through the vertebrae of the neck, which cause enough trouble just supporting the head. At most, a small tentacle for precise manipulation of small items might be useful, but even that would be better attached to the collarbone.
Besides, anything attached to the forehead is going to interfere with binocular vision.

taking things too literally
Perhaps, then, just a bracket for mounting a flashlight.
That was my favorite part. 😀
That cross hybridization is obviously wrong. Beavaducks are not viable. Only crocaducks are viable.
I thought it was supposed to be a duck-billed platypus. There’s a meme that does the rounds every now and then with a picture of one that says something like – “God, you must be joking.”
Why, I wonder, is it a duck-billed platypus, not a beaver-bummed duck(-ypus)?
Cue Naked Gun jokes. More Naked Gun jokes.
It’s a canarver.

Plan schman!!
I want my forehead arms!!!
Didn’t anyone ever tell you to be careful what you wish for?
We (Aussies) stole the beaverduck a long time ago. It’s a platypus folks. Ain’t G*d wunderful?
Forehead arms would make high fives way more fun…
Ooh…on the contrary, I’d think the incidence of poked eyes would increase dramatically.
The obvious adaptation to the pressure of poked eyes…the nictitating membrane.
Exactly!
I love this! 😀
The meaning of life under the ink blot? I think it might be “forty-two”.
/@
That’s been bugging me! But I don’t think it’s “forty two” because the character visible at the end is rather high, and the first character has a cross-bar attached near the bottom. Usually the cross-bar of an ‘f’ is high rather than low, and passes through both sides of the vertical line. Looks like it starts with an ‘h’ to me.
I was thinking “H” too.
This could be a contest…
Ho Hos?
Certainly not.
Ho-Hos are the crappy ersatz version of Swiss Cake Rolls, and even then, any pre-packaged baked good simply cannot hope to compete with fresh items from a good bakery.
No, Ho-Hos can’t be the meaning of life.
Remember, we’re talkin’ Gawd here, not Julia Child.
That’s true.
Well, if I were god, no Ho-Hos.
Agreed. Ho-Hos are too ho-hum.
We sure need a third eye in the back of our head. Who is going to engineer it into the human genome?
love it!
Love it.
Cool. I’ve already added this to my gocomics feed.
And, looking back at the last few days, I found one that Jerry will certainly like, and that should amuse a good number of the rest of us.
As you’ve gathered, I love comics, and if anyone has some good atheistic or anti-religious ones to point out to me, I’d really appreciate it. Of course, I know about Jesus and Mo, SMBC, and the Atheist Pig. Those on the same wavelength as I am may appreciate the series of Little Atheist cartoons, listed here (there are only 44 of them, alas).
But if we had forehead arms, would the thumb go to the left or the right?
under “god’s plan” apologetics, everything is necessary and everything must be justified — for how can anything fall outside god’s “plan”?
Looks like g*d can’t spell ‘squiggle’ either. Guess it’s just the pope who’s infallible.
The kindest thing you can say about most people’s conception of God is that he’s shockingly incompetent.
