Modern Christians 6.17

Page 17 is up. Here you learn a little more about Katy Perry's upbringing and rules she had to follow. Are these more insane to you than the last page? To those who can relate to Perry's parent's, would you really put these rules shown here? If so…

False Preacher: Joel Osteen

Leg Lengthening Trick

In case you didn't know, a lot of televangelist faith healers use this dirty trick, which has been around a long time to give the illusion of a leg growing, when people with one leg shorter than the other need a miracle. Skeptics have exposed it and…

Guilty by Association?

When we see a Christian with someone who's suspicious, an outcast of society, or even someone who's known to make trouble, is it right to jump to conclusions about the Christian approving of the sinful things the other person does, or that maybe…

New project idea: False Preachers

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 12:17pm 4 Comments

My artwork has gotten a lot of attention lately (mostly DeviantArt) with the messages I have put in. Mostly positive. So lately I've been thinking of going into a new project: exposing False Teachers/Preachers, founders of cults, con men/women, etc.

I would try draw a picture of one each week, sometimes in a comical way, which shows what they are known for, kind of like a title card and include links to videos and articles to prove that what they have said, wrote and done is true and…

Understanding Islam and Muslim attitudes.

Posted on May 12, 2010 at 2:43pm 1 Comment

No thanks to me being sick, my 2nd and 3rd story of Modern Christians are being delayed. And one of my pens has dried up too so I am going to get a new one.

But lately I have gotten interested in trying to understand what the Muslims think and believe.

A couple of weeks ago I befriended a Muslim on facebook. And with every status update he put up, he seemed determined to disprove Christanity. Showing the flaws of Christianity, questioning and showing verses in…

Modern Christians update

Posted on April 25, 2010 at 8:48pm 0 Comments

Just about done with the 2nd story of Modern Christians. I mean it this time! I really do wish I was done with it earlier!

I am looking very forward to Modern Christians chapter 3. It's mostly about Randy and what it feels like to be put on the spot as a Christian dealing with athiests who hate Christanity. Especially if we may be weak in our faith. You know that feeling you have when non-believers or other beliefs ask why we believe so and so and we feel like we don't have an…

Modern Christians chapter 3 and beyond

Posted on March 28, 2010 at 8:15pm 0 Comments

It's been a while since I wrote a blog here!

I am almost done with the 2nd story of Modern Christians. I hope people will read the rest of what I put up, since I was supposed to have finished it about a month ago.

So anyways, the 3rd story is being planned out. It's the first story that involves some of the psychology that I want to use to make Modern Christians stand out. And you'll get your first taste to see why Johnny calls himself a savior and feels God is…

Future female characters in Modern Christians.

Posted on January 21, 2010 at 5:38pm 6 Comments

Lately I've been having ideas about what female main characters to use in my comic Modern Christians, since I want the comic to appeal to both guys and girls. But I also feel that I need to understand girls even more than what I do. Talk to my female friends more often? Read magazines for girls/women? Watch more movies? Anything to show that my characters are realisitc.



Heres some characters I plan to have:



Sally: David's eventual girlfriend. I want to make her the ideal… Continue

Happy belated b-day! Also, I'm currently interviewing Christians who are involved in comics. Feel free to check out some of the interviews I've posted to my blog so far, and let me know if you're interested in being interviewed. If so, you can e-mail me at rsquaredcomicz@gmail.com with "Interview Information" as the subject. Take care and congrats on the progression of your comic!

Dude, I just want to say I really like your comic. I like to see the way its growing artistically and i pray you continue to have characters who really shine a Christ-like light while still showing the struggles of human beings.

I pray the Lord blesses and even writes into your story.

 

So yea, i like it allot. thats a good summation...nuff said lol

Hey! Just started reading your comics :) I'm really liking it! Can't wait til I see more of them, keep up the good work! God Bless!

David, in your last comic you said you were going to update more now that you're on break, but we have seen nothing. What's going on?
At 12:49pm on August 20, 2010, Alex F said…
It looks like you are doing some pretty important work. Being candid about controversial topics between Christians and non-Christians is pretty important. I have been plugging away at the same comic for nearly 3 yrs and have a similar goal of bridging the gap of understanding. Currently nothing is posted on-line, but hopefully I will soon have something for all to see.

I hear you. I'm trying to do the same thing with my comic. It's definitely needed, and I think there's a sufficient readership for it.
At 12:10am on August 6, 2010, Justin Martin said…
Hey Dave,

I just heard about "Modern Christians" and I really like the idea! I've started reading chapter 3. Good stuff! I see a lot of possibilities with your "real, everyday" approach to the Christian walk. Take care and I pray for all the best!

I will definitely look it over. I was already looking at the most recent couple of pages and it looks very interesting. Thanks for the suggestions/advice.

CCAS at Comic-Con

The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011

In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.

Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”

Welcome to the Christian Comic Arts Society (CCAS) Online Network!

Did you know that CCAS has monthly meetings in the Los Angeles area? Contact Eric Jansen for more info!

 

Also, members of CCAS have produced the APAzine ALPHA-OMEGA for over 25 years!  We have about five openings right now!  Contact Eric Jansen for more info!  (This is a 30-member active-participation-only photocopied magazine for Christian writers and artists who submit a "trib" every other month for fun, fellowship, and critiques by other members.  Between postage and your photocopying costs, you might pay anywhere from $5 to $25 per issue.)

 

Your current Board of Directors includes Eric Jansen (Secretary,)  and Kevin Yong (Treasurer.)  Both have served as President of the L.A. CCAS chapter.  Kevin is also the Assistant Central Mailer for ALPHA-OMEGA.  Also on the Board are Scott A. Shuford (Vice President) and Geoff Strout (Webmaster.)
