Hilariously not for the weak, Oct 17 2005

I started following this strip while living in Detroit. It began its run in the weekly entertainment rag, Real Detroit, in 2001 or 2002. At that point it was being carried to one other paper. Given the complete disregard for decency, the limited circulation isn't mysterious.

This stuff shouldn't be funny: Jesus's middle life crisis complete with hookers, isolated human suffering of all types, self-fellating time travelers, and child abuse. If you have a warped sense of humor and a strong stomach, this goes past Red Meat into an undiscovered country of humor.

This collection is generally strong and you can see a dramatic change in illustration style.
