Weirdly biblical piece for me- it was an assignment to draw piece from a different perspective in order to change the story. The original piece is by Michelangelo, ‘Sacrifice of Issac’

In Episode 3.4, Peter invades the family dinner at Jason's steak house, and asks his sons to come with him to the militia's new headquarters. They refuse. He gets angry and threatens Judy, and the entire family (except for Kelvin and Keefe) pulls out guns. Look who they are pointing at:

Jesse and Amber's sons, Pontius and Abraham, sitting at the kids' table. If the family doesn't have excellent aim, they will kill the younger generation.

The kids' table is often set at the foot of the adult table, but there are usually other kids. The placement of Pontius and Abraham is deliberate, pairing them with Chuck and Karl Montgomery as both objects of their parents' affection and pawns in their power-play.

Sacrifice of Isaac, Caravaggio (1603)

[nyxbarb]

— by Rembrandt van Rijn; Sacrifice of Isaac (1635)

[quotesfromscripture]

You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe -- and shudder. Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works.

James 2:19-22 RSV (1971)

[buggie-hagen]

Not only is Abraham told to sacrifice Isaac, whom he loves, but he subsequently endures God's attack on his own promise, which he trusts. When he does this, God does not attack in a theoretical moment--mythically--only to say just as quickly, "Never mind!" He tempts, tries, roasts, and cooks Abraham like a pig on a spit. Abraham is dragged through a long and awful process, right to the moment of making his altar, placing the sticks, binding Isaac, and brandishing the knife. ~Steven Paulson, Luther's Outlaw God, vol. 3: Sacraments and God's Attack on the Promise, 257.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: In this Bible story, God asks Abraham to kill his beloved son as a sacrifice.  Abraham is surely mortified, but does as he's told, bringing Isaac to a mountaintop and setting up an altar.  However, just as he's about to slaughter his son, a goat appears, and God says Abraham can sacrifice that instead of his son.  For Christians, this story is both a test of Abraham's faith in God, as well as a foreshadowing of Jesus's sacrifice on the cross.  While mankind deserves death for their sins, a Lamb appears -- Jesus -- and is sacrificed in our stead.  While Abraham's son was spared, God's own Son faces death and triumphs.  Anywho, this cartoon reimagines the moment God asks Abraham to slaughter his son, in stunning technicolor!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: 'Tis the season, it seems, for yet ANOTHER "Tomics Resurrections," where I've redrawn one of my older comics.  Much like most of my original comics, the old one is very desaturated with lots of grays and browns, and while the same essential tone is kept in the new one, I've altered the dialogue to give it a little extra zing.  The only part I regret having to change is "burn him alive."  It's such a jarring phrase, but it's not quite correct, as God's asking for a "burnt offering," and as the custom goes, a sacrificial burnt offering would be killed before being burned, not burned alive.

So how does the new compare to the old?  In this case, the old version is truly ancient (cartoon #29 according to my filing system), which I think makes it about... 10 years old...?  That can't be.  I still remember writing "2014" on stuff.  Oh my gosh... This is a lot to process... I, uh... um... Where was I...?  Oh, yeah... "Tomics Resurrection"!  Woohoo!  Haha...!  Yeah, so the funny thing about the old version is that even IT was technically a resurrection, 'cause it was based on a cartoon I drew in a notebook back in college... before Tomics was a thing... in 2012... oy... Sorry, I have to sit down for a second...
