I do have to question why it was decided to draw the illustrations in what appears to be Jack Chick's style.

Pff, Breaking Dawn is an important book to many people. That doesn't mean we should respect it.

But you are right, it does look a lot like Chick's stuff, as well. I think it has to do with the rather excessive use of unnecessary detail on skin and things of that sort. |

They'll probably condemn it, then masturbate to it. Hey, they masturbate to the Old Testament already, this'll probably just make it easier.

That's right Captain Hooker - this must be the most upset he's made them since Fritz the Cat.

To be fair, "Breaking Dawn" -is- far better written than the Bible, and doesn't contain a bunch of mindless killing for no reason other than "God said so." Plus, it had a happy ending.

Obligatory  Also, I love the idea and love that the Bible is pissing off the religious. |

Just wait until RR gets a hold of this.... BuzzardHut is going absolutely ape-shit over this (I mailed it to RR under my nom de plume). He's also royally pissed over new version of the (unchangeable) bible. As a theologian with 6 decades experience, the bible is probably the most overrated crock ever concocted by the unscupulous, and does not deserve any respect. |

I'm surprised that R. Crumb is still alive.

I sat down and skimmed through it at the bookstore last week.
I thought it did a good job illustrating all the unsavory things the patriarchs and their families got up to, as well as the emotional impact of many stories that fundies handwave with "they understood", like God telling Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. I hope R. Crumb gets a chance to do the rest of the Bible before he gets burned at the stake by outraged fundies.
