The Other Cheek p4

CartoonistWill on Feb. 5, 2024

Welcome back, Gospel Chums!

This page took a bit because, not only have I been running on steam, but because I had a Holy Spirit feeling or something (I am not sure) that the dialogue in panel 3 wasn't correct. So I passed it on to my pastor and the theology group I'm a part of on Facebook. I used their feedback to change the paragraph slightly. “The other cheek” is ambiguous on this page unfortunately. I would have loved to have spelled it out, but people weren't liking my understanding of it. In the end, I put the phrase in so people could interpret it themselves. Basically, to me, it is a call to pacifism, but to others it is interpreted differently. Anyway, it is the title of this story, so I suppose it's good that the phrase made it into the actual dialogue. Do you think the kids' clothes are the right color? The warrior in panel 3 is a cameo of Benaiah from Brandon Waggoner and my Benaiah comic, available only in print through our indy planet webstore. Until next time, Gospel Chums!
