This story just came to me after praying that the Lord help me just create and put out a Gospelman comic. It'd been since 2004 (that's about 10 or 11 years between) that I created Gospelman and started saying I was going to do a comic, and I really just got tired of saying and not doing. So I give God the credit for the inspiration.
I originally conceived Knight Hare, A.K.A. Rabbit-Man, here as Batman himself. Originally I thought it would be fun to have Gospelman meet famous DC and Marvel superheroes and compare and contrast them. Well, it really only works with Batman as he symbolizes despair and darkness. That's why Bats is always being paired with Superman, who symbolizes hope and light. The same thing is being done here - Gospelman's hope is being contrasted to the hopelessness of Batman. Of course, I had to do some digital edits later, after I decided I wanted to print this, as I can't legally use Batman. Originally it was only meant as a free webcomic, so copyright laws weren't originally a concern.

Without an intelligent designer of this “Intelligent Designer”, how does the Intelligent Designer design our brains? is it an infinite regress of intelligent designers? anyway, I’m wondering if you are still working on this comic. I would love to see it continue:)

I am! Been really busy though. Most of our/my updates appear on our Patreon at www.Patreon.com/Gospelmanministries I understand what you're saying. It would be logical in one sense that the Creator must him or itself have a Creator also. But in another sense it is not logical to have an infinite line of Creators, as I believe you've pointed out. Which is exactly the point of believing in an infinite divine being that has no beginning or end, outside of time and space. God, in this case the Biblical God, as this starting point who Himself has no Creator is more logical than believing in an infinite line of Creators. If one were to choose to believe in a Creator God, of course. Anyway, other than the Patreon, I've been using Comic Fury mostly. I like it better, although I admit I think the community is more active on The Duck.

You got fed up with not making a comic; so one day you made a comic, and you want to thank God that you yourself actually made a comic? you give the him way to much credit…

Besides, "the brain's primary building element starts with the brain cells known as neurons. Chemical processes in the brain send out messages through the neurons that determine the mental processes along with thinking." Without an Intelligent Designer, our brains wouldn't even work. Without God, we wouldn't even exist to begin with. Honestly, we don't give Him enough credit!

Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy and wasn't certain you needed a reply. I had been busy with other things and needed to make good on my promise to use my gifts that God gave me to serve Him. Otherwise, what I meant is that I was having a very difficult time script writing. But I prayed this at work during my warehouse job and suddenly the whole thing just came to me. There was no script, I drew it at work during a slow period as the words just came to me. That's not normally how I do this process. Normally there's a script that undergoes constant rough drafts and rewrites. Also, I felt it just wasn't natural for me to write a religious educational piece at the time. I'm much more accustomed to writing secular comedy. So the scripts had been not great up to this point. I also didn't even know where to start. Nothing felt right. This is why I give God the credit, because the whole thing immediately came out right after I prayed. No edits or revisions needed.
