Ahem. Due to Jesus being a carpenter, he was in the lower class of people in Nazareth. Thusly he did not know how to write, and couldn't read much, besides some of the Torah. If he were an artist, he would probably have known how to write. Hense he may have had the urge to write his own story for the gospel, and we would have a gospel according to Jesus.
Again, thusly, Jesus would not have had to name Peter his "rock" and "key" and Peter would not have become the first Pope, the Catholic Church would not exist as we know it, and finally thusly the past 2000 years of European History would be quite different.
Sorry, did I ruin this thread? Damn me and my edumacation.
Or maybe Peter would have destroyed Jesus' comics... er, literature... so his erotic past with children wouldn't get in the way of his ascension to the highest position of his cult.
You may have edumacation, but I have cynicism (and rectal ticks).

"Seems like the only comics that would be good to this person are super action crazy lines, mega poses!"
I think that Jesus would be awesome comic artist. I mean, he is a son of god, after all. I'm inclined to believe he could do miracles there too. Like, making an entire two-months buffer in a move of the hand.
But this would be the carpenter forum now. We would all be webcarpenters now, struggling to get serious because it's not a serious job, unlike cartooning.

If I were Jesus, I'd enter the Daily Grind competition and bag myself a whole pot-load of cash. Bwahahaha!
And that probably goes a long way to explaining why I'm not Jesus...

The only famous religious figure I know of who was a cartoonist was Martin Luther-- I know he used other people's drawings to send message but I think he drew some of his own as well.
A webcomic so scrumptrelescent you can barely move.
That's not really true. Some people claim that church icons were precendants of comics; In a way they were, they, too, used graphic narration through a series of images. Then there is Gustave Dore who was known as a translator of great works of literature (Bible, among others) into graphical form. This is logical, when church wanted to speak with common, uneducated people, they found out pretty quick, that one picture is worth a thousand words.

Yeah, that "comic" I have of St. George on my wall is really funny. Remember the part where he slays the dragon? ahahahahahah! ::shakes head:: that crazy dragon.

My favorite cartoonist from history was Thomas Nast. Jesus probably woulda been his buddy. Nast was all about getting rid of corruption in the government and trying to make the Gilded Age a better time to live in. He was in jail a few times for attacking big businesses with his cartoons. Cool, eh?
