I Am NOT Charlie
Hey there Primate Posseâ„¢! Happy New Year and welcome to my first ‘toon of 2015. As you can see this comic references the terrible events in Paris last week. I titled it “I am NOT Charlie” because I fully admit to being afraid to draw Muhammad unlike the cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo. For that reason I am not Charlie. I hesitate to use the #Iamcharlie/#jesuischarlie hashtag on twitter, but have decided to use it to get my work out there in the world. I’d love to go into more depth, but I think the comic says all I need to say. Any thoughts, fellow ‘toonists?
Damn you Chris, damn you to hell!!! I am a Christian & I have a gun!!! Be afraid, be very afraid!!!
Oh sorry…
Got a bit zealous for a moment there.
But seriously this sure is crazy stuff what happened though. I did a Al-Quaeda strip some time ago & with everything that’s been happening I’m not game to post it.
I can give you a little teaser though…
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds & whey
Along came Al-Quaeda (insert mental image of turban wearing bloke with sticks of dynamite strapped around his waist)
And sat down beside her
And blew Miss muffet away….
Maybe I could post it ‘cos Mohammed ain’t depicted or mentioned.
Hey Tony, I think you could get away with that strip! By the way, I appreciate having you as a reader. I know that some of my work might be offensive to Christians, and it’s good to know that there are Christians like you that are tolerant of it! 🙂 You’re a good bloke! (to use your parlance 😉 – plus I like that word, we should use it in Canada!)
Thanks Chris, I’m pretty unoffendable. That’s part of the problem with today’s society, people are just way too touchy & can’t take a joke. Even if something’s said or written that’s not a joke people are still too quick to get all offended. I go with the way of thinking that if you don’t like something just shrug it off & get on with your life.
Bloke is an awesome word. I couldn’t imagine the Australian language without it.
Happy new comic of the New Year! 🙂
And a happy comix new year to you, David!
This was brilliant! 🙂
Thanks Tim, means a lot coming from you! 🙂
Scared the Holy Ghost out of you, hunh?! Hope 2015 is a great year for you, Chris!
You might even say it scared the bejesus out of me too! Have a great year yourself, Mark!
Welcome back. Way to just ease into it!
Ha ha, thanks! I thought I’d pick a nice light topic…
