Faithmouse is a long-running independent online Catholic/Christian editorial cartoon. = It used to be known primarily as Right-Wing (with links and posts on sites suc= h as Alan Keyes Renew Ame= rica and Newsmax) but is currently a non-partisan ca= rtoon with a following on a number of pop culture boards to which I regularly contribute.

Formerly uber-Christian cartooni= st Dan Lacey used to draw a religious cartoon with such messages as "aborti= on is bad, yo" and "fuck the liberals!= " but coupled with psychotic symbolism that a schizophrenic couldn't make s= ense of. And then he went crazy.

Now he draws the same comic with essentially the same message, except now= Gay Bear fantasizes of having sex with Jesus and one of the female characters named Taint masturbated with a huge butt plug while dreaming of Barack Obama.

Faithmouse used to be (i= n my opinion) a very dry, predictable, uninspired political strip that parroted neo-conservative, fundamentalist Christian values without offering anythi= ng in the way of insight or analysis on the behalf of its creator (Dan Lacey= ). He bashed the ACLU (even when it was repeatedly pointed out to him they frequently went to bat for religious freedom), bought into the "acti= vist judges" and "War on Christmas" panics (the primary antagon= ist in both being a lesbian pagan judge with a buzzcut), and had a character that was an aborted fetus, Never= born. He also had that ridiculous but all-too-common habit of depicting American Christians as under siege and mercilessly persecuted, despite the fact th= ese strips were done during the most frothing, fervent days of the Bush administration. Back then, Faithmouse, for me, vacillated between banal and sneering, neither of which made it worth reading.

But a while back, I can't really pinpoint when, Dan started experimenting with the strip in completely unpredictable ways. He introduced a character called Gaybear, a gay Christian bear who got = hard-ons for Christ. Then Poot, a giant walking ass who ate things, then shat them out broken and wasted. (Consumerism?) His comics always had a slight problem with being indecipherable, because he was so preoccupied with the symbolism of every= thing he drew; he eventually stopped caring about making the things accessible = at all. His shit seriously went Dada for a while. It was extraordinary.

He has a new character, Taint, who is an evil Faithm= ouse. (Made even more interesting by the fact that Faithmo= use is basically Dan's wife in mouse form.) Taint is pregnant and wants an abortion, constantly naked, has a huge stable of intimidating sex toys, w= orks at a strip club (or as the cigarette girl in a casino), and is covered in tattoos and piercings. Dan really likes drawi= ng her. A lot. Sometimes masturbating.

I don't think concepts really matter. When stated plainly as= a concept nothing really sounds interesting. If you want early criticism, w= ork out an actual comic idea: not an outline of what you plan to do, but an actual scene or chapter. A concept could be taken in a million different = directions and turn out awesome no matter how retarded it initially sounds, so it's better to show people what you're actually going to do with it if you want criticism.

This sounds like excellent advice, and I= 'm going to start making something of it right now.

One of the most unusual and most delightful web sites around, Faithmouse.com is sure to become one of your favorites. There you'll meet a creative conservative Christian artist who has mixed the best of Bill Buckley and Bugs Bunny to come up with a great new hero whose comments on contemporary culture are of great value.' ~Denny Hartford, = Vital Signs Ministries

&nb= sp;

I first encountered Faithmouse at Men's News Daily. At f= irst I didn't get much of it, but eventually, with the help of the blog I figured out what was going on and now find it quite informative. I am an atheist, b= ut I try hard not to be a jerk about it. Even when I disagree with a given carto= on (or series or them,) I find the faith expressed touching and the artistic talent impressive. I wish I had either, but since I have neither, I simply enjoy the cartoons for what they are: one man's remarkable statement of fai= th in an indifferent world.
Good luck always, Faithmouse.~emailer John Q <= /o:p>

Dan Lacey over at Faithmouse gave me a nice plug last we= ek. A lot like a lot of military chaplains, I happen to enjoy reading Dan's com= ic.

This is a simple question for you:Your "cartoon", Faith Mouse....I don= 't get it. It doesn't seem like an editorial cartoon to me. See, editorial cartoons usually attempt to argue a point (And generally are funny in doing so.), bu= t I see very little of that going on. Your cartoons seem to only say "Prai= se God" or "Dubya's Great", which i= s alright (Not by MY standards though) but it's not enough to just SAY it without bac= king it up. (Also there's the inherent lack of humor in this thing....I don't get it.) Sincerely (Not really), JnvRe= no
P.S. In THIS:http://www.faithmouse.com/ed= 11toon.jpg : Cartoon, you feature a picture of a Flaming Lips poster. Just a question, what do you intend to infer by this? Are you saying the Flaming L= ips aren't good? Because they are better than everything else in the mainstream radio these days. ~emailer = Just Curious.

&nb= sp;

Hello again, Dan... Been a brief while since I wrote -- there's a whole lot of activity in this world of ours lately. The pictures = from Fallujah, the death of Pat Tillman, the al-Qaida bombings in Madrid, the continuing chaos in Afghanistan (largely dwarfed by the war in Iraq), the pictures from Abu Ghraib, the footage of Nick Berg's execution, the bet= rayal of state secrets by Mr. Chalabi, the apparent sanctioning of prisoner torture by our own leaders... this insanity seems t= o go on and on and on without a pit stop, doesn't it? And it required the death = of Ronald Reagan to take our minds off of all that. Up front: The main reason = I'm writing again concerns the 6-6-04 entry of faithmouse in ComicsSherpa. So far, it's the best memorial to Reagan I've seen. There's a whole lot of utter nonsense emanating from both Reagan's harshest detractors and his doe-eyed fans these days, and your modest entry transcends all of that. Goo= d -- I'm glad I saw it. Personal observation: I'm not a Reagan fan -- I think th= at plenty of what his critics have to say is true -- but I recognize greatness when I see it. Compared to George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan looks like Patton,= and the closest we have to a Patton these days is Colin Powell -- and the way h= e's been treated is a crying shame...) The downside: Reagan will be fittingly memorialized and respectfully laid to rest, as he should be. But the morning after... well, we'll be rejoining the living. And many of the living seem t= o be intractably pissed. I'm not sure they don't have the right to be. ~email fr= om JY

I couldn't really understand the cartoon so I went to the site from which it originated www.faithmouse.com.

So many of the so-c= alled "popular" strips have become nothing but mouthpieces for liberal causes and others hostile to our values. "Doonesbury" stop= ped being funny years ago when Trudeau started taking himself so seriously. On = the other hand, we have rags like the L.A. Times refusing to run Johnny Hart's "BC" when there is a Christian theme displayed. I'm looking forward to the gentle, uplifting message of "Faithmouse" appearing in one of our Newspapers. Thank you for yo= ur efforts. ~Yours in Christ, Joseph

Wow Its so great to see that someone truly understands God's message In regards to this cartoon: That is totally what jesus would have done. Every day I= ask myself "What Would Jesus Do?" And now i know Jesus would totally throw a book a someone'= s head People are always portraying Jesus as a peace-loving p= acificist, but the truth is, He was all about kicking the living shit out of non-believers.

out of them with the bible Thanks for finally telling it like it is ~emailer 'Bitte= rbunny', Kansas

I'm really glad you're out there, unafraid to back down = from your faith. However, I do have a question for you. When are you going to co= ver the topic of Bill O'Reilly and his lustful adultery? A feel betrayed as an avowed Christian that Mr. O'Reilly has besmirched our faith by acting in su= ch a poor manner and then not admitting fault and asking for Christ's forgivenes= s. I enjoyed your cartoons on Dan Rather, and I assume it's just been a busy yea= r, and that's why the hypocrisy of Mr. O'Reilly has not been made a subject of your excellent comment. I look forward to hearing yoru= (sic) reply on the matter. ~emaile= r Matt, Washington, D.C. <= o:p>

If there were a God, he would think you've got to be the biggest idiot around. Just like W., your cartoons are filled with self-righteous hatred and stupidity. Please go (expletive deleted) yourself= and let off some steam. I suspect that Jesus hates you, too. I know I do. ~Anonymous emailer

Hi Dan, I read Faithmouse everyday. I thought it was abo= ut time I emailed you. I really like Faithmouse; keep up the good work. I beli= eve that the Lord wouldn't necessarily have us look at our own political party through rose-colored glasses, but see it for both the good and the bad. I r= ead both conservative and liberal editorial cartoons daily. I'm a conservative,= but I must say I sometimes like hearing things from a fresh point of view becau= se it may have been something I overlooked. I guess it's just my personality n= ot to be so loyal to someone that I defend them even when I think they're wron= g. ~Joseph Ward of AmongWolves<= /span>

&nb= sp;

Um who's being racist to Condi Rice? If I call her a painfully incompetent partisan hack who complete= ly screwed her job up is that racist? If I suggest that sh= e was promoted because Bush rewards loyalty above skill and result is that racist= ? If I suggest that she is yet another "yes-man" that won't challen= ge Bush and pals on some of their more insane schemes is that racist? Because that's all I've seen. Or are you just once aga= in parroting the GOP talking points to draw attention away from the legitimate criticism with a smoke and minstrel show? It seem y'all are the ones blathering about race, we're talking about cause and eff= ect. But keep on throwing them stones! Your obtusenes= s and hypocorism is what makes Faithmouse so entertaining.Th= at and he looks so cute with an M-16! You think that would have been the weapo= n of choice for Jesus? Or would He be more the give the order to bomb Fallujah type? ~emailer H= arry Fishnut

Thanks for your encouraging email, especially the part a= bout keeping on when nobody seems to care. I've wondered many times over the past few years if anyone really cares about what I'm doing, but just when it see= ms that it's all a waste of time I get an email from someone who has been bles= sed by the Sheep Comics. I never wanted the Sheep Comics to be political, at le= ast in the sense of "right"versus "left". However, the Doonesbury strip to me went beyond politics = and into raw bigotry, so I felt compelled to respond.Thank= s again for the encouragement. ~God Bless, Web Shepherd of Sheep Comics<= i>

-just to quickly mention here, while it's sort of off-topic, I do appreciate a lot of your Gay Bear series. I've had at least three gay Christian friends over the years, and by mentio= ning their struggles you're discussing something that's often overlooked or cove= red in fire and brimstone. The "gay marriage as red herring" comic is= a particular favorite of mine, as whether or not anyone believes gay marriage= to be immoral there's far more to be solved about American marriage than who d= oes or doesn't get to participate. But I digress, and I don't want this to turn into a debate of values either - I'm glad to agree to disagree. :)
I've noticed your regard for dissenters, to the point th= at you freely post their comments, and it's part of= what made me more eager to email you and see your response.

Many newspapers and magazines have cartoon commentaries to lampoon the politicians, newsmakers, and the present state of the world.

BEST LOCALLY GEN= ERATED BLOG (RIGHT-WING)

Winner: Faith Mouse

<<Pr= evious Next>&g= t;

Most political blogs have one common goal, and that'= s to beat the reader about the head and shoulders with the strident opinions of = the author. Be it through truthiness or hyperbole, = these sites deliver the red meat their followers deman= d, while excoriating the opposition for every infraction, real or implied. The conservative cartoon blog Faith Mouse takes a different tack. In examining = the dozens of right-wing sites on its blog roll, one can easily surmise where l= ocal cartoonist Dan Lacey's sympathies lie. But judging the cartoons he prolific= ally posts will leave one scratching one's head more times that not. The star is Christian rodent Faith Mouse, who shares face-time with a rotating cast of unseemly characters like the ACLU Ferret, the pro-choice feminist Ms. Starmole, the shameful Gay Bear, and the mustachioed = Devil Cat, who wears a sombrero festooned with pentagrams. While most three-panel cartoons follow an introduction/setup/conclusion format, Lacey's non sequit= urs often leave the reader going, "huh?" (Forum threads on sites such= as Touch of Evil and Something Awful have been dedicated to deciphering Faith Mouse cartoons.) A recent panel found Faith Mouse observing a flying saucer heading toward her. Panel two shows the ship opening to reveal "recovered" homosexual Donnie Davies singing "God Hates Fags!" The third panel features political pundit Andrew Sullivan applauding a bowing Davies with the phrases "Christian baiting!" = and "xGay bashing!" over Sullivan's head.= So, why would the gay Sullivan be applauding Davies'= gay bashing? Lacey himself stated, "I'd rather not explain my cartoons (not sure I absolutely can)," in an unrelated January 2007 posting. His more straightforward pieces against the ACLU and "Hitl= ery" Clinton are mere diversions from images like presidential candidate Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) cradling a wide-eyed aborted fetus named Neverborn as his running mate for 2008. This year, Faith Mouse wins our straw poll. <= o:p>

Tsunami
Common Dreams (via Speak from the Heart) reports th= at the tsunami death toll may reach 200,000.

RNR thought fair was fair, so we o= ught to mention, contra Chuck Currie and a few other left-leaning religious bloggers, that the conservative side of the equation actually has been raising f= unds for tsunamit relief. <= /p>
But then we saw a couple of items = that gave us pause. First up, this t= idbit from a Christianity Today article on same-sex marriage:
"We fully expect a tsunami of litigation," says Matt Daniels, president of= the Alliance for Marriage. AFM is a nonpartisan coalition seeking to amend the U.S. Constitu= tion to prevent the redefinition of marriage. Daniels fears that state and feder= al judges will invalidate the measures.

So abortion is a "holocaust" and couples suin= g for the same rights as anyone else is a "tsunami." And Christians wonder where they get the reputation for being uncaring.

Then there's this from Christian cartoonist faithmouse:

It's a good thing this tsunami came along. Otherwise, how would we ha= ve an opportunity to bash somebody else's religion?

Inadvertant Masterpiece

Jesse Taylor found this cartoon.

You have to give it credit--it’s = an image that makes you think.

Sure, the first thought is, “What= the hell?”

Then, the fact that= the thing is the ideological equivalent of that picture of the two faces that c= an be a vase, depending on how you look at it.

Now, I know that the guy that drew it i= s an uber-conservative. So, we’re supposed to sniffle a little at tattered Old Glory, and the soldier, and the patriotism in the face of deat= h.

But… it’s a loaded image. I canR= 17;t figure out if it is rac= ist, or if it’s condemning racism. I can’t figure out if it’s belittling 9-11, pointing out the real carnage of WWII, or if it’s supposed to put both events on the same level. I can’= ;t figure out if the squalor and death are supposed to be tragic or noble.&nbs= p; It is supposed to invoke guilt or pride?

Or, perhaps, as ot= umba pointed out, “Or maybe he’s just been informed to report to his reserve unit for deployment to Iraq.”

Which is to say, when you take it as an image alone, without knowing the artist’s intention… it’s really art.&nbs= p; And, really strange.

Response to Original message

17. Here's my take on all four of these.

Number One.
Panel one: Passer-by Christian (named FaithMouse) sees Dem and Rep arguing the Bible, but sees both are wrong (note Bible is upside down), Panel two. In a spirit of brotherhood, FaithMouse shows them how to read the book and teaches that the whole point is to lo= ve each other. Panel three. Persuaded she has brought peace and truth and ho= pe and light to the two political partisans, FaithMouse= goes on her way, happy and fulfilled. Panel four: But it turns out the political partisans don't want to hear the REAL message of the Bible; they want to use it as a weapon -- which they do, against their common enemy: = someone who puts brotherly love above partisan politics.

Nuimber Two
Panel One :FaithMouse checks in on her old rightwing pal, Mallard the Duck, who is drinking heavilly because the Democrats have just taken over= . FaithMouse tries to stop Mallard from doing somethi= ng foolish -- like roaring off full of booze and rage. Panel two. But off Mallard goes anyway, a menace to himself and others, blind with furor from losing the election. (Note that his vehicle makes the annoying rightwing noise "Freep" as it roars along.) P= anel three: Like a typical wingnut, Mallard would = rather that everyone die rather than not get his own way, so he takes aim at a vehicle full of the people he most hates (a bunch of lefties in a V-W bus) and crashes into them, killing himself, them, and any chance for peaceful, harmonious political change.

Number Three
Panel One. Rank-and-file fatcat Republicans c= an't believe that the idiot evangelicals in their party are supporting a backw= ards fundamentalist preacher (Huckabee). They are telling the evangelicals, in no uncertain terms, what a headache they are causing the Party. Panel two: The evangelicals are gone, but before leavi= ng, have responded by shoving their Bible right up the Party's big fat Republ= ican nose.(IOW, they may sit out the election).

Number Four
In Panel One, FaithMouse has reminded a fellow 'believer' that Jesus taught we should remove the plank in our own eye be= fore we point out the speck in another person's. (i.e., Our own faults are usu= ally worse than those we criticize in others.) But the angry partisan will have none of that. He arrogantly insists that Jesus's words do not apply in this particular case, and that FaithMouse is trying to protect someone who doesn't deserve protecting. Panel two. T= his angry partisan now becomes angry with FaithMouse for suggesting that he not criticize his enemy, presumptuously insisting = that even Jesus himself would agree that, in this case, his criticisms of his opponent are well-deserved. Panel three. Now the angry partisan -- threat= ened by the suggestion he might be in the wrong, accuses = FaithMouse of KNOWING that he is right and that even Jesus KNOWS he is right. And si= nce everybody including Jesus KNOWS that angry partisan is right, then maybe = the "plank'" is in FaithMouse's eye and= not his own. Panel four: Whereupon Jesus demonstrates to him that the 'plank'= in question is unquestionably in his OWN eye, because Jesus himself sticks it there.

<= span class=3DSpellE>Wingnuts in favor of freeloading squatters, so long a= s they can be used to punish fornicating women

Posted by Amanda Marcotte July 31, 2006 in Religion, Assholes<= /p>
Figured y’all would enjoy a somewhat recent issue of “Faithmouse”. I’ve been meaning to blog this for awhile, = ever since I saw it at Sufficient Scruples, and only now got around to it. Kevin’s post goes over h= ow dehumanizing this image is, and how it elevates the brainless fetus to human status while lowering women to not only beneath human status but also beneath the status= of any animal with a brain and feelings (which a fetus doesn’t have*). W= omen have the status of real estate, and not only that but real estate that you can’t even charge rent for. So, you’re daily reminder that the anti-choice movement is primarily about disdaining women. Hopefully for Faithmouse’s sake, Pope Ra= tzinger will declare women to have no souls again, so that anti-choicers can push even harder against women’s rights without having to give half-assed concessions to the silly notion that women are human.

This cartoon is a classic example of “poke/own it”, of cours= e. Since fetuses are brainless, we can guess whose poke/own rights Faithmouse = is really defending. What I find interesting is that your average wingnut—if I may speculate here—would pro= bably not approve of someone just poking some real estate that doesn’t belo= ng to them and then declaring that they have legal ownership, so they can squat there without paying rent if they want to. So really, women are actually devalued below your average apartment. Hell, women are below roach-infested apartments that have been condemned by the city, since owners have a right = to evict people who are squatting even in those apartments.

Add to that the fact that most anti-choicers don’t believe women should have a right to contraception, either, whi= ch makes me wonder if they think we should have a right to lock our own doors = when we live by ourselves. Oh sure, you could say that the fornicating woman inv= ited the squatter in, but only if you think that a) the fetus is basically just a symbolic extension of a man and b) that women don’t have a right to h= ave temporary houseguests that are expected to leave after their visit, instead= of move in and refuse to respect your private property. In fact, this cartoon = so goes against your average conservative’s views on private property th= at one wonders how the cognitive dissonance doesn’t make their heads explode.

That said, this cartoon is actually a pretty classic example of how “social conservatives” are people with populist inclinations who are buying into social movements that exist to sublimate their urges and redirect them towards un-populist ends. How more explicit can you get than scaring people with the genuine fear of eviction = and then using that to direct their energies and votes towards a political party that will increase the number of real evictions? It’s kind of sad if = you think about it—in order to stop imaginary evictions, wingnuts are increasing the number of real ones.

*Anti-choice trolls take note: Any attempt to derail the thread by bring= ing up the teeny tiny percentage of abortions done to spare a woman’s lif= e or health in the third trimester will be rightfully marked as red herrings. We’re discussing the mundane, everyday 1st trimester abortions that Faithmouse opposes women having access to.

Conservative Comics Part II

There's a cartoon I used to read called Fai= thmouse by Dan Lacey that I just recently started checking out again. It's great, h= is recurring characters include Neverborn, the fly= ing aborted fetus, Starmole, the mean atheist judge= , and Gaybear, a gay....bear. The cartoons come from an extremly right wing christian mindset and almost always make me laugh. Like this ridiculous cartoon praising Joe Ratzinger.

For some reason he feels the need to continually post unfinished comics on his blog. Perhaps there is= some frothing army of christian<= /span> soldiers who cannot go very long without their Faithmo= use fix. I know I can't.

Syndicated Cartoonist Matt Bors - h= ttp://www.mattbors.com/2005/08/conservative-comics-part-ii.html

As a follow up on yesterday’s article , “One World, One Dream“, I would like to continue in the effort to publicize China’s human rights violations before the start of the 2008 Olympic Games in August.

   This graphic, called “Dancing <= st1:place w:st=3D"on">Beijing Man (in chains) Olympic Logo”, and the concept were created by Faithmouse.&nbs= p; The idea is to post this graphic on your site and to link to = all the others (or as many as you can) who do the same. This crosslinking should boost the graphics’ rating = on Google and other search engines thereby raising awareness to the suffering caused by the Chinese government.

   Below are the blogs that a= re joining together for this cause and I will be adding more when others let me know of their participation. Visit Faithmouse for the image and to si= gn on to the list of bloggers who are trying = to make the world a better place. Let me know when you post it!

The logo is currently on page one of Google i= mage search under the term ‘B= eijing Olympic logo’, and currently listed #41 in text results, although we = were as high as #4 a few days ago. Text results can fluctuate wildly, so I wouldn’t be too concerned about the recent drop. The Beijing Olympics= is a world event, and if we can manage to retain this sort of visibility as interest grows in the games I think we’ll still be very successful. <= /p>
I would suggest no longer posting an entire <= span class=3DSpellE>blogroll with the image; instead, just post the image, write a little about it and link it to just one other blog doing the same. = An easier thing to do, and perhaps more effective.

Also, please feel free to post the image to f= orums and bulletin boards. I’m going to start doing the same myself.

Again, thanks so much. Chinese authorities ha= te these sort of campaigns and do their best to kee= p a lid on anything rebellious, especially over the internet. Good for us.

Cartoonists gone wild (sort of)!

Okay, finally the wors= t part of midterms is over! Just genetics exam next monday, and Wednesday I fly, fly, fly back to <= st1:place w:st=3D"on">California!!! Ho= pe there's a decent swell.

Hm, random stuff...

I added the website 'faithmouse' to the list of political cartoons. If you'= ve seen some of my cartoons, you might be surprised, but I really enjoy Dan Lacey's stuff. I may not agree with him on all political issues, but he has= a skilled hand at drawing and isn't afraid to state what he thinks. Plus, the little mouse is cute. I also enjoy the inspirational and prayer cartoons. He also did a nice one recently for the Providence police officers who were killed this year (one was actually on the Dallas force). Ch= eck it out!

In the funnier end of the spectrum go to Bush Countr= y's catalog selection for fine arts.
Chec= k out what they sell as "fine arts." They also offer CHRISTIAN CARTOONING. You won't want to miss the delightful antics of FAITH MOUSE.And you c= an see John Kerry kissing John Edwards in a "The Leftersons" cartoon. "Guys, we al= ready have the gay vote!"
They've got an, ah, hilarious gay comic character called GAYBEAR here. That crazy Gaybear! Secretly reading the Bible = under the covers when he thinks his disapproving, devil-inspired boyfriend is asl= eep! The angels are doing their damnedest, as it were, to explain it's okay to be gay if you repent of it. But poor ol= ' Gaybear is confused!

And then there's the angelic dead = fetus, NEVERBORN, flying sadly out of the ABORTION MILL...What a character that Neverborn is!

= Faithmouse a few years = ago was a boring, simplistic conservative religious comic with terrible ama= teur art notable only because it tried to do it through the medium of a furr= y webcomic.

Now though it is grade-A pure awesome.
