Thoughtless for the Day

Sorry about going MIA last night, but I was on a super-secret assignment for the City Paper. I had planned on using tonight to post a trashing of another Answers in Genesis cartoon, but when I clicked on their website I happened to notice a couple of things which realigned the focus of my energy.

The first was this. It's a nearly 1,000 word long Boo Hoo Hoo-Fest about the Pulitzer Prize being awarded to a cartoonist who regularly *gasp* mocks Creationists. Bench-warming Jesus on a Minor League team, Right Wing Christians control both Houses of Congress, The Executive Branch, and the Supreme Court and now they want to get to pick who gets a Pulitzer? What's next; Pat Robertson handing out the trophy for Best Group Anal Scene at the Adult Video Awards? Shit Luther, it's the Media's bias against Christianity that has prevented U2 from ever winning a single award and forcing the Irish lads to toil in obscurity and poverty.

What really makes the piece fun, in a watching a blind orphan choke to death on a baby seal kind of way, is that fact that it was penned by none other than AiG's resident cartoonist, Dan "I make The Family Circus look like Ghost World" Lietha. If you thought my regular "Why is Henry Rollins more famous than me" pieces were pathetic, you ain't seen nuttin' 'till you've read Dan's screed which basically translates into "But...but where's my award, Jesus?" Don't worry Dan; you'll get your reward in Heaven: when St. Peter bends you over a cloud and makes you his special alter boy.

Hell, I'm also a cartoonist and you don't see me crying all over my keyboard every time that shitheel who draws Dilbert finds a prize in his Cracker Jacks.

Because I never post a piece that hasn't been thoroughly researched (except for those dozen or so wherein I accused Eleanor Roosevelt of being a Japanese spy), I took a look back through Dan's collection of two-dimensional atrocities and noticed something interesting. Take a look at this cartoon. Now take a look at this one. Notice anything? No, not the total lack of ability to draw using perspective of even the most rudimentary grasp of human antimony. OK, here's a clue.
That's right; Dan's Adam and Eve are Black! My how Fundies have evolved from the days when portraying Adam and Eve as being any darker than the members of ABBA could get them run outta town on a rail. Could it be possible that Dan Lietha, the man who inks After Eden, might understand that White skin is a mutation that occurs over thousands of years, therefore the earliest humans must've been Black? Can it be that Dan "Gawd done it!" Lietha is guilty of publishing cartoons that promote the idea of Evolution?

Well, miracles never cease.
