Setting aside my personal religious beliefs for the moment I think this one was nicely and tastefully done. The problem I had with most of Johnny Hart’s Easter themed strips, and with the other religious themes he put into the strip over the years is that he tended to be very overt and even a bit ham-fisted in his presentations. Add to that the fact that at times he could be insulting to other religious groups – either incidentally or deliberately – and the result was that I personally felt considerable antipathy to the strip when he was doing it, regardless of whether he was doing something with a religious theme or not.
Comic strips are not meant to be read as though they take place in a particular point of time. Timeless comics comment on the present. Freedom of expression in art I believe.

Very clever account of Christmas to Easter, told backwards.Happy Holidays to all!

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it. Come to think of it, all who don’t celebrate it may have a Happy Easter, too.

With all of the happy anachronisms in this strip, why pick on that one? :).And BTW, isn’t “supposed theory” a tad redundant?

Hialeah! now for the rest of the Promises…! here’s hoping we see them…in our life times.

Rejoice when you are persecuted because of him. You’ve spoken well of him as you always have from the begining of the strip. Rejoice and Happy Easter!

Considering today’s strip, perhaps on this day each year Mr. Hart ought to rename his strip; A.D., just a thought and Happy Easter!!!

I read it, and I’m glad you enjoyed today’s message. I’ve always liked Hart’s show of faith and this honours his memory.
