    Yes it is obvious. With the way children are behaving today, that’s probably what Shakespeare would say…

    The name really says it all, when are the trolls going to realise that the whole “SHOPPED!!11!!” thing is less funny than Milhouse.

    On a lighter note - good comic, where can i get that book from id love to know what Dante Alighieri would have to say today…

    Technically, he wouldn’t be alive, just not-dead (Zombies are undead!)
    You’d need Jesus for that one..

    It was obviously photoshopped.

    I actually use Adobe Photoshop Elements to draw these [I can't afford the full photoshop], just so you know.

    38 goes to hackney/victoria
    25 goes to Stratford (among others)
    If you want to use something other than photoshop elements try using gimp or inkscape.

    William Shakespeare’s grave doesn’t have his name on it.
    Or is this just a cartoon and we shouldn’t worry about these tiny details, more that it is funny?
    Keep up the good work!

    Mr. Comic Maker, please turn that pentacle upside down. The way you have it now is a symbol for Wicca, and only continues to help de-educate people into thinking that those who follow the Wiccan religion are worshipers of satan. To truly make it occult, you need to turn the star in the circle upside-down.

      Well, 1) It is a pentagram, not a pentacle. 2) Wicca had always been about Satan worship, until they started changing beliefs and still called it Wicca. So really, true, traditional wiccans ARE in fact Satan worshippers. 3) Does it really matter what it is you’re serving if it is not the one true God? Is it any less wicked to worship a man, or the elements, or an animal, or ourselves or inner being than it is to serve Satan? Satan is nothing more than a very intelligent being that decided he was better than God, just like so many people today, minus the intelligence. If your serving or worshipping the wrong thing, what does it matter what the object of your affection is? All that matters is that it is as wrong as the next guy.

        Self-righeous much?

        1.) Get over yourself. Who cares what it’s called?

        2.) What if YOUR choice is wrong? What if Zeus was the one true god? What if (Shock! Horror!) there is no god? Then all you have left to justify bigotry, attacking your fellow human beings and generally being rather unpleasant is the fact that you believed in one.

        3.) A person has a right to defend how they define their religion. Christianity has gone through many changes over the last 2000 years, since being founded by crazy followers of some dark-skinned bloke from the middle-east. What gives you the right to define it for them? Especially by describing them as “Satan…minus the intelligence”?

        Tell you what, how about you take your self-righteous bullshit about who or what god may or not be and just keep it to yourself? I came in here to read a comic not some stupid religious attack upon a fellow human being, regardless of their personal beliefs.

        Yours,

        Someone who refuses to believe in 1723 gods (at last count) to your 1722.

        p.s maybe you should catch up on that count…

        YAY flame war! Anyway…. I really liked the comic, I’m sorry that we can’t keep things civil down here.

        “3) Does it really matter what it is you’re serving if it is not the one true God? Is it any less wicked to worship a man, or the elements, or an animal, or ourselves or inner being than it is to serve Satan?”

        How about worshiping your own selfrighteousness. That leads to genocide, ethnocide, witch burnings, crusades, blowing up places in the name of your desert god, killing of people based on their sexual preference, child brainwashing and occasional sacrifice…. etc.

        in other words, people who believe in demonstrably evil gods (like Yahweh) shouldn’t throw stones at Satan worshipers anyway. So STFU @sshat.

    guys are you kidding me? it’s a cartoon! it’s meant to be laughed at! you guys take things WAY too seriously. It’s a f*ing cartoon I don’t think it really matters if a certain symbol is presented correctly or not, as long as you understand the basic idea of what is happening. wow.

    Great cartoon, very funny, keep it up!

    It’s all fun and games until someone try to cast a fireball… Don’t mess with wiccans, they can cast Fireballs at level 1, even the druid ones, using their wisdom modifier!

    Well Luke…I’ve read all the comments starting from zero. and I love them all so far. :D haha. But I’ve decided to not read any of the comments anymore… It seems that you have quite a few internet “snobs” floating around your site….I wish there was a filter to keep them out don’t you? lol

    Great Job! I stumbled upon the “Choose Your Own Adventure” themed post and had to start from One. ;) Keep it up. I love it.

    The Wiccans do not, and have never worshiped the Christians’ moronic anti-god.

    Traditional Wiccans do worship the Horned God, which has existed for far longer than Christianity, and which some feel Christians may have perverted into being their Satan figure. This makes sense considering Christianity was built upon perversion and threats. Perverting an older religion’s god into being evil, and then threatening people if they continue worshiping the same way they and their ancestors have worshiped for centuries, is just the thing Christianity has always done.

    I say swap the pentacle with a cross. It’ll make about as much sense, and at least you’ll be pissing off the right people.

    Um, seriously guys, this is a two-year old doodle on my obscure little webcomic - not the world’s most important forum for the discussion of religion and society.

    Listen boy, Its not a fucking star haven’t you followed any of the earlier discussion it is a pentagram. Also a symbol for the free-masons. Yes that is it! Shakespeare was a free-mason it all makes sense now. Shakespeare was the keeper of the secret of the true lineage of Jesus Christ’s blood line. I bet the secret is somehow encoded in his works. (Sniff Sniff) I smell a new book from Dan Brown.
