Isaiah Cartoon: Truth to be Hard

Here is my latest cartoon for Isaiah.




The commentary I have for this concerns the difficulty in understanding Isaiah's words.  The idea is similar as the last cartoon, but focuses on a possible intent behind his methods, and brings some humor with it.  Isaiah might have written his revelations and visions in his manner to preserve the truth and protect it from ridicule.  Only people who have true intent, that are willing to study to understand, will.  Therefore, the wicked will not hear the truth of his words, and will therefore not be offended.  That is the joke, at least.

Isaiah Cartoon: Real Intent

Years ago, when I was a child, I would read Garfield by Jim Davis and dream of being a cartoonist.  However, being raised the way I was, that was not a good career path.  I needed something more real.  Years later, here is my small contribution with a religious perspective.




The point of this comic focuses on the fact that Isaiah can be difficult to interpret.  However, his writing is true to the teaching style of Christ.  Christ's apostles asked once why he spoke in parables.  He wanted to make sure people who wanted to learn would hear it.  If people listened hard and tried to understand, they would.  Isaiah's writings are similar.
