Your Own Personal Cheesus
May 28th, 2009
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.

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
May 4th, 2009
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:
