Shortpacked! always makes me feel conflicted because on one hand @itswalky‘s Historical Jesus is perfect but on the other, my picture Bible had him in a purple sash, so what is reality?

Shortpacked!: Easter
Shortpacked!: He is risen indeed
- Me: So Shortpacked! got this character who's the "Historical Jesus". Y'know, he's Jesus like he probably really was: Short, brownish jewish man who yell about the end of the world and giving to the poor and all of that stuff.
- Dad: Yeah?
- Me: Yeah, the manager of the store rised him from the dead, 'cuase controversy makes is a good way to get advertising
- Dad: Heh, Cute
- Me: So there was a strip of all the characters going to see "the Avengers", and we see all of them after the movie: the Batman nerd says it could've used more Batman, the Marvel nerd says it's the best movie ever-
- Dad: Well, it IS
- Me: And then of one them asks "What did you think, Jesus" and we see Historical Jesus sitting there, shocked saying "That's the greatest movie I've ever seen" and then we see a tagline that says "the Avengers: the Greatest Movie Jesus Christ Have Ever Seen"
- Dad: *Laugh*
- Me: And down at the bottom it says "Out of a sample size of "the Avengers", "Short Circuit" and "Short Circuit 2"
- Dad: Huh? What's "Short Circuit"?
- Me: It's a movie from the 80's about a robot
- Dad: Why would Historical Jesus watch this movie?
- Me: Oh! That's becuase ANOTHER character in the comics is a talking car and the "Short Circuit" movies are his favorite movies becuase he's an A.I, too and...
- Dad: ...
- Me: It makes more sense when you read the comic
- Dad: I sure hope so
Shortpacked!: also it was uphill both ways
Here’s the whole goddamned horrible and amazing Easter thing we got in the mail all in one post. I think World Harvest Church does this just to force Jesus Christ back from the sky early to topple their tables. It must be a huge temptation for Him.
But He won’t, because He doesn’t want to get Resurrection Seed all over His face.
One last thought – I just now got the double meaning of “the ultimate giveaway.” At least I hope that’s supposed to be a(n extremely tacky) double meaning. It is distinctly possible nobody at that church realizes what Easter celebrates. Hrm. Upon further reflection, I’m not sure what possibility is worse.
More Fanart for Shortpacked!

This is just a response to a comment I couldn’t draw earlier due to work and parties.

Shortpacked! is old, buy some art
The “The Shortpacked!: The Movie” posters arrived in the mail this very morning, on Shortpacked!’s seventh anniversary! Pretty damn sweet! I tried a million times to get the colors to show up correctly on my camera, but this is the best I could do. Imagine it looking roughly 400% prettier.
Though they are limited, there are still some of these left! You can even splurge and get a piece of original character artwork from me as well! All proceeds go to the “David and Maggie need to get the hell out of the house for once” fund.
I will start putting some of these in the mail to those who ordered them just as soon as it stops being The Deluge out there.
