Brilliant image…… and very telling.
WOW! Again you create one image that conveys what would take many words. Thank you!
What comes to my mind is the Church…and those within it, that try to destroy it.
Wow, how true. Many a congregation has perpetrated crowd violience against the pastor and his family. Let the pastor touch on sin that runs through a congregation and the blood-letting begins. There is an army of pastors wifes and kids that can affirm that.
Nothing more destructive than mob violence.

This is so true of violence, but I was also thinking about it in terms of cultural shifts (even shifts of power in the church). Often the victim becomes the villain. Those who are powerless often fight and rise to power, only to victimize others (sometimes even those who victimized them). The unbudging status quo that is in existence right now was once the new rebellious thing that no one wanted to listen to. But, they will eventually be ignored again, once they are old.
How come the guy holding the fire doesn’t burn first??
fishon…you are so right.I was in a church that turned on the pastor with a lynch mob mentality. Devastating.
Just catching up. Ha! Great cartoons, David.
thanks mich. we are blind to the fact that when we hurt others, it will somehow come back on us. the paper man doesn’t realize that when he sets his brother on fire, eventually the fire will come around to him.
As it is said ”What goes around, comes around”!
Outstanding work, David!
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
