I always heard this when the winner said God was on their side. that’s like the ultimate Game fixing. why would GOD give a shit about your Steelers scoring a home run goal or whatever while he’s still figuring out how to grow food in Africa and stop the water from drying up, He’s working his fingers to the bone with nonstop maintenace and you ask him to make your team more athletic or the other guys to suffer debilitating wekness so you can win a flag or penant or ring or cereal deal?
I think the other team lost because they DID pray harder and pissed off the big guy.
I forget which comic I saw many years ago, who said he used to pray to God all the time to speak to him and guide him. Then finally God did speak – told the guy to leave Him the f**k alone, He was busy! (or was that She was busy?)
Good point, Jonathan. PLEASE let’s not go down that road. I want to make very clear that I am making no point about religion itself with this strip. I repeat: THIS IS NOT COMMENTARY OF ANY KIND.
Thank you for the link, Alex. You’ve confirmed that Geraldo’s mustache is indeed mightier, and that some people have a lower mustache. Right above their dick. Thank you too, Google Images.
This right here. This is why I read this comic.
It’s funny how no one ever asks that questoin.
The reporter could also say “My name is George” in the last panel
(as a deductive for the seriousness)
Those of us who ask those questions are requested to never ask those questions again. That’s why I can’t stop…
He looks more like…a Geraldo.
Pat O’Brien
(No relation)
He would be a shoe-in at sword swallowing, Lord knows Herman puts his foot there often enough.
Always good to get a comic with Herman in it.
O’Brien… Say, isn’t that Penny’s last name? o_o
Oh, and I love this series. With a passion x3

This is pretty much what I think of whenever anyone blames a god for their success.

Surprised no theological flame wars have sprung up yet…
Internet, you do me proud.

This comic keeps making me laugh,
Can’t stop…
Yeah, I like those moments where one goes all creepy right after a nice laugh… Just puts the emphasis on the meaning. xD
