Re Pontius Puddle, November
While reading the November issue, I could not find the humour in the Pontius Puddle comic. It has a pastor quipping that the back row of his church is filled with life forms that have “long since been fossilized and inactive.” It seems to me the back rows of most Presbyterian churches are filled with life forms whose work and dedication and faith are the cornerstone of all our activities. I know this is just a two – block comic strip but I think the back rows of our churches deserve more respect from the Record.
Oh please! Get upset, start writing letters about things that really matter. You may not have found the humour but I know many who did. Heard the saying “you can’t please all of the folks all of the time”? The comic strip is there to get you thinking – ‘Is there a possibility that we are stuck in our ways and therefore fossilized?
