Your Own Personal Cheesus

Looks like Frito-Lay is get­ting into the God Game.  A cou­ple from my home state of Texas, found a one-armed two-inch pray­ing Jesus in a bag of Chee­tos pur­chased at a gas station.

Yes, it’s the tra­di­tional Sec­ond Com­ing story, just as you remem­ber it.

Sarah Bell was eat­ing the Chee­tos out of her hand and she had already eaten most of the dis­ci­ples when she dis­cov­ered Him.  “It is a reminder of our bless­ings from God, but pri­mar­ily I think it’s a funny Cheeto,” says Mrs. Bell.

She adds that her first reac­tion was, “Let’s put this on eBay.”

Of course!  Look!  A reminder of our bless­ings from God!…  how much do you think we can get for it?

“Thing is,” says Mr. Bell, “If it’s only 25 cents, we’re prob­a­bly just gonna eat it.”

The arti­fi­cial cheese-flavored body of Christ.

See for yourself…

This is not the first appear­ance of Jesus in a bag of Chee­tos.  Check the side­bar on YouTube.  For instance, CBS reported a Cheesus on the Cross last year.

My Bizarros

My friend Dan Piraro is the mas­ter­mind (and mas­ter hand) behind the car­toon Bizarro.

And, even draw­ing a daily car­toon – 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year – and being a most active ani­mal rights activist, he some­how finds time to make a daily blog post.  And his blog is hilar­i­ous.  He’s a very enter­tain­ing writer, he includes a lot of car­toons, and he delights in the play­ful use of hyper­links.  Click on every link – it’s always good for a bonus laugh.

Dan and I have col­lab­o­rated on a hand­ful of car­toons.  Basi­cally, I send him an idea every once in a while and, if he likes it, he plays with it, draws it, makes it a Bizarro cartoon.

Go check out his blog – and here are my favorite col­lab­o­ra­tions with genius Dan Piraro:
