paranoid schizophrenics

It’s been awhile since I posted a cartoon. This is based off of something I wrote on my twitter account a few weeks ago. It’s also my first completely vector cartoon… I think.

Anointed Again?

William Lehman — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:27:18 +0000

I think anointing someone with oil is very Biblical and very much a part of worship. Growing up in church though, sometimes there was a person who it seemed was getting anointed every week. I don’t know if that person just wrote a big check each week or what the reasoning was, but it always intrigued me that someone would go up there every week and ask to have oil poured on their head. It’s a humbling experience and not one that I’d want to exploit for personal attention. Anyway, I’ve always imagined a pastor getting fed up with that person and dumping something else on their head instead.

Barbershop Jesus

I feel like there is a Jesus image that we lift up for each generation. It’s rather strange to think that this timeless Gospel must be re-branded every few years to “relate” to our culture. Our culture is going downhill rather fast. Shouldn’t we be lifting up the timeless truth of the Gospel rather than the latest rendition?

Authenticity with God

William Lehman — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:04:28 +0000

I have a problem. Sometimes I pray to God like God plays the “kiss and tell” game. You tell him your innermost thoughts and He runs off to shout it from the rooftops. I often get angry with God and other people. Anger is a sin I know, so I play the “not me” game. I guess it started in the garden of Eden. Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That evening, God was walking around the garden.

“Adam. Eve. I know you are here. I mean I am God. Wait a second… are you trying to hide from me?!” God laughs.

There is an absurdity here. I like to think that God laughed here and yelled out “Marco?!” But I bet what brought Adam and Eve out of hiding wasn’t laughter. I bet it was tears.

Truth Evicted

William Lehman — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:05:23 +0000

I’ve met a lot of people who want a truth catered to their particular viewpoint. The fact that they struggle with a part of the gospel and are offended by it doesn’t mean that it’s wrong. It means it has authority. Their are parts of scripture I’d remove if the editing was done by me. I’d simply leave it out. I mean it would be a “nicer gospel” if Jesus didn’t die on the cross. It would be “nicer” if Sodom and Gomorrah were not destroyed. It would be nicer if no one was kicked out of the garden because of rebellion. It would be nicer if the central figure of the text wasn’t some guy who claimed to be God and called the priests hypocrites while He told His followers to procure swords.

But it wouldn’t be Truth either.

The Truth isn’t nice.

The Truth sometimes Hurts.

But it brings life and it’s worth every bit of offense it brings.

Identity Crisis

William Lehman — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 15:17:22 +0000

I changed a few things around the site yet again. The theme. The description of the site. The focus. It the same person writing here. It’s just that I am trying to get a bit more focused in my approach. Please pardon the identity crisis that seems to happen around here often. It should be coming to a focal point in the near future. Having a little guy around seems to bring an element of focus to your life, (at least for me).

Why we don’t relate well.

Have you ever heard a pastor who just didn’t connect with the people who were listening? Maybe too wrapped up in himself to really be able to preach effectively. I have. You hear it often today. “You have to meet people where they are” It’s the mantra of today’s churches. Often though, things go a little crazy when you actually have to practice that. Standing in front of a crowd of people and being vulnerable, relatable, and open is hard. A friend of mine calls this being “naked“. I’ve been helping him out with his blog and rereading a lot of his comics so this comic pulled a little of his style.

Abstract Tuesday has begun.

William Lehman — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:31:04 +0000

I am still recuperating from the Arkansas trip. Unpacking, cleaning house, etc so I haven’t had much time to draw much. I found a few more pages from my sketchbook of some of the swirls I do digitally. I thought I would share a few more pages. Next week, I hope to have a new abstract peice finished in full. I visited a gallery on my trip that showed me a few things that I want to try myself.

Tornado Date Night

Tonight there is apparently a tornado watch in effect. Well, it’s probably expired by now, but it prompted this little comic. Enjoy! Click image for larger version.

The Bored Christian Man.

William Lehman — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:08:39 +0000

Lately, I’ve been wondering about a lot of the Christian men who have influenced me over the years. They have been wild, reckless, and otherwise outcasts in their Christian walk.

I want to be more like them. It’s going to mean doing things differently than I have. Taking a few more chances.

After all, Christ in John chapter 7 seems to mislead his own brothers, go to the feast of Tabernacles and then almost cause a riot in the temple.
