For all men, the world ends with their deaths, or some such quote.

He may be gullible but in panel 2, you can tell that animal, in nautical terms, is a cat a’list .

Well, you’re no Carnack, Dogsniff, but I tend to agree with you here. They’ll be crawling out of the wood work and hanging off the rafters.

Beware false prophets. Sell all your worldly goods and send your money to Lewreader’s Eternal Investments. Your dividends will be out of this world.As Dn Imus, the Right Reverend Billy Saul Hargus would sing
save a nickle or a dimeThink of all that peace of mind,Save it now while you aliveIt’ll be in Heaven, when you arriveYes a check will be OKGet it in the mail today
Friends, you work all your life to save a little something only to have your friends and relatives fight over it when you die. Don’t let your loved one battle. Don’t freak out and leave it to a parakeet. The first National Bamk of Him has 2000 years behind it and never a penny lost. They say you can’t take it with you but you can invest for eternity earning those big dividend.I have somehow forgotten the rest broadcast around 68 before IMAN got kicked out of NY the first time.

Camping’s Family Radio entity is valued at about 70 million…and you would need all that money for what…especially when you are not going to be here….mild stroke, phooey, shudda had a swift kick in the butt, maybe two.

(1) Camping such an egotistical drama queen. He believes when he croaks everyone has too as well.(2) Note on door reads: Your 1987 Taurus has been raptured.

@yyyguy Regarding your comment yesterday, much as I like Heinlein, I think the best Apocalypse story is Gaiman and Pratchett’s Good Omens.

Eddie is my favorite character in Non Sequitur.

Has Eddie even gotten his boat hauled out from where it sank at the dock? He went for the cheap repairs, and they didn’t work… Gonna make it kinda hard for the Repo man to take the boat, if it’s still sunk.

at least his pet isn’t catatonic. Or is that a drink?

That old man making the predictions looks like he’s really predicting his own demise – maybe just doesn’t want anyone to outlive him ;-)

“As of late some Christians have come to the erroneous conclusion that the Bible has a secret encryption in it. That is a heresy related to Gnostics who preached there is secret hidden information that only certain hunters of knowledge can find and know.”Yes: the Christian God has provided all we need to know up front, in the Bible, through the Church, and so on. Hence there’s no need for extra, hidden knowledge reserved to the elite.

They’re all out there but if it’s true I’m ready to be scooped with my dogs to heaven.

Did Camping think his calculations were better than Isaac Newton’s? The inventor of the calculus was also a closet heretic (he denied the Trinity and believed that Christ was separate from God the father, a position that would have gotten him into BIG Trouble in England in those days with NO separation of Church and State, I might add.) I think Newton calculated from his attempts to “decode” the Bible that the end would come sometime around 2040 (I think, but I could be wrong.) And let’s face it. Calculus IS Rocket Science.
