The book of Genesis Illustrated.

[ParadigmShifter]

Well there's a version of The R'Lyeh Text for kids now, Hello Cthulhu

 

[Phlegmak]

Crumb's Bible illustrations are fantastic, as usual for Crumb. The Tree of Knowledge is particularly great looking.

 

[holy king]

i condemn this frivolous idolatry!

 

[Dachs]

Psh. The idolatrous frivolity is worse.

Republican propaganda website is somewhat unhappy about the whole thing:

I would like to see him get away with drawing Mohammed.

 

[Phlegmak]

I would like to see him get away with drawing Mohammed.

He wouldn't, which is why he laughed about it.

And to anyone who doesn't know: the Koran isn't a book of stories like the Bible is. Compared to the Bible, the Koran is bland, dry, and empty. The Bible is colorful and rich in myth stories. If he did an illustrated Koran, there would pretty much be nothing to draw.

I would like to see him get away with drawing Mohammed.

It IS funny that there's no issue with drawing GOD though

Hopefully, we are keeping this book and the book it is derived from away from the children. The content is too adult oriented.

That is one of the points.

Did you read it?

Yes, the hysterical headline does not match, at all, the tone or content of the piece. It was actually a pretty good read.

Yeah, I read it.

 

[Angst]

I think the book is perfectly fit for kids.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

I'm not a fan of the old, white bearded man depiction of God. This isn't supposed to be Zeus we're talking about. It is better not to try to depict God, as any attempt would fail miserably.


I'm pretty sure that the Koran probably treats depicting Allah as worse than depicting Mohammad.

 

[Dachs]

I'm pretty sure that the Koran probably treats depicting Allah as worse than depicting Mohammad.

The Qur'an does not treat either.

If he exists he's gotta have some kind of appearance. Sooner or later someone has to be more or less correct.

 

[Ulyaoth]

That's God.

 

[Earthling]

No, that's just a waffle that got stuck to the ceiling.

 

[GenMarshall]

I'm awaiting for the Garry's Mod edition of the Bible. G-man Jesus died for yer sins!

Sorry for the persecution. Please tell your side to stop calling for banning books based on content.

Sure, when your side quits censoring music. Remember Tipper Gore and The Parents Music Resource Center?

 

[Lord Gay]

Filtering out presents a distortion of the truth. If you leave out that some of the so-called heroes of the Bible got drunk and slept with their daughters or impregnated numerous women, you are distorting the so-called truth.

Silly Roger, tricks aren't for kids.
