So Easy A Christian Can Do It

Click above to view larger image. Largest.

For our non-U.S. visitors, this cartoon is a parody of a popular television commerical by Geico insurance. The continuing gag in the commercials is of young cavemen suffering from ingrained societal prejudice.

Geico commercials have a reputation for being insufferable themselves, but this recent theme is more tolerable, perhaps because the talented lead actor in the caveman role makes his character both likeable and believable. The ABC television network recently ordered episodes of a situation comedy based upon the caveman characters.

Portrait in progress.

Chris and I went to Punch Pizza for lunch late Tuesday afternoon, and on the way home stopped at a large and on this day very quiet shopping mall, one we don't normally frequent, so that Chris could find a particular hair conditioner. We rode up the escalator of a department store, and as we arrived on the second floor I had a strong impression of a cartoon I'm working on which shows Faith completely engrossed in reading her bible as she rides a similar escalator, oblivious to the world around her. When she arrives at the landing she continues to rise into the air, much to Timothy A. Bear's surprise.

Chris and I exited the escalator, neither one of us flying into the air, and we stopped to guess in which direction the hair salon might be. I thought it might be in one corner of the store, but Chris was certain it would be in the other. For some reason I decided it was important that I follow her lead, and on the way to the salon noticed two young women out of the corner of my eye, and without taking a step out of my path, had a short conversation with wonderful conjoined twins Abigail and Brittany Hensel, who were looking at necklaces in the costume jewelry department.

The Hensel twins are an inspiration, mainly because their very existence forces one to consider the sanctity of the soul. They've been born to a generation which, like the ones immediately preceding, is destined to make colossal decisions impacting the definition of self. The generational peers of Abby and Britty can't regard them without having their assumptions on life issues challenged to the positive. The Hensels are rare gems; how many like them have we allowed to perish, without even giving allowing them their God given right to life?

So, I'm going to delay the other cartoons I've been working on and do this piece instead. I know Abigail and Brittany like to surf the internet (God help them) and I imagine in time they'll discover this portrait. I hope they'll find it as encouraging as we find them.

A Joint Statement - And If Not

A TinTin Movie

Tintin Finally Does Tinseltown - Yahoo News

I'd like to say Yay!...but Tintin is a very un-P.C. character for Spielberg and Dreamworks to tackle without major revision. Time will tell.

Thinking about it a little, I think they'll probably decide to do a live action film, write their own Tintin storyline and place it in modern times, which would kill the charm. I very much doubt they'll luck into a number of Tintin diehards in Hollywood who'll fight to protect the integrity of the adventures.

I remember the animated series from the late sixties, which was faithful to the original material. Hollywood can in no way improve upon Tintin. My recommendation is to pick up the original cartoons, which are available as compilations of three different adventures. Tintin in Tibet was Herge's personal favorite.

Faithmouse Removed From Google Listing For 'Britney Spears No Underwear' as a Consequence of Hidden St. Michael The Archangel Prayer

This is the text of an email I received earlier today. From all I can tell, it seems to be real-

Dear site owner or webmaster of faithmouse.com,

While we were indexing your webpages, we detected that some of your pages were using techniques that were outside our quality guidelines, which can be found here: http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html

In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, we have temporarily removed some webpages from our search results. Currently pages from faithmouse.com are scheduled to be removed for at least 30 days.

Specifically, we detected the following practices on your webpages:

* The following hidden text on faithmouse.com:

e.g.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

[...]

We would prefer to have your pages in Google's index. If you wish to be reincluded, please correct or remove all pages that are outside our quality guidelines. When you are ready, please visit:

to learn more and request a reinclusion request.

Sincerely,
Google Search Quality Team


The original email-

The charge by Google is true. On the http://www.faithmouse.com website, which redirects to my blog (a blogspot address, which is also Google) at the very bottom of the page, I have the prayer in white text on a white background. I placed the prayer there a few years ago, and no one (except perhaps for Ray at Stella Borealis) knew it was there but me. Because of the redirect, the index page is only accessible to search engine spiders and robots. It's 'hidden' because I'm not interested in making it an issue and a subject of comments. I keep the original faithmouse site out of view but in my back pocket; you never know what might happen to a blog on blogspot, for example, fellow Catholic blogger Desperate Irish Housewife recently had her blogspot address stolen and it now hosts a porn site.

Here are a few current Google search engine listings-

Britney Spears no underwear - #12 (last week, #8)
Christian cartoons - #7
Conservative cartoons - #6
Catholic cartoons - #5
pro life cartoons - #2
gaybear cartoons - #1 (due to my 'Gaybear' cartoon character)
pro military cartoons -#1
crazy Catholic conservative cartoons - #1

So, what to do?




Update- It seems that as a result of Google suddenly discovering the St. Michael prayer, faithmouse has been completely knocked out of Google's listings under the search term 'Britney Spears, no underwear.' That's unfortunate, because the listing drew upwards of more than 2,000 (surprised, I imagine) visitors to this site per day. Therefore, I've updated the title of my post from 'To Be Removed' To 'Removed'. We'll see if any futher de-listings follow.

A copy of the original faithmouse index page can be viewed at www.faithmouse.com/index2.htm Drag cursor over bottom of page to view prayer.

My post of this story on Something Awful (adult content) resulted in my being banned by the forum. Search 'faithmouse' to find a second cartoon thread to which I've regularly contributed.

Thanks to Ray at Stella Borealis; Northland Catholic Roundtable for the post, as well as to Leo at Psycmeistr's Ice Palace.
