I knew this would attract at least one troll in the comments section.
I though it was harmless.

I get the feeling this is probably pretty true to reality. These soldiers have seen a lot, and most likely inflicted a lot of it themselves, so they wouldn’t really care. As for the alive thing, well, that’s galllows humor for you, and humans haven’t changed much in 2000 years. Besides, the spear in the side thing was to make sure he as dead, right? they never told us the results.
BTW, i am a Christian. This is not blasphemous, just silly. Blasphemy would be declaring that Jesus never existed, or that he was not the son of god. This comic does neither. Thanks for the chuckle.

I just thought it was funny that they would check he was dead by sticking a spear into him…

Agreed, with Eoin, chill out man don’t take life so serious.
Love your work Eoin! Rock on!

Actually, it’s kind of accurate. In crucifixions, the Romans would break the person’s legs to make sure they were dead, but with Jesus, the centurions could tell he was already dead so they just poked him with a spear. The gospel says he was dead by the time this happened though. Still, the comic is very funny, even to a good christian like myself. A typical reaction anyone would make, even the son of god. he was human, don’t forget that!
Love the comic btw, going through the archives since you were featured on Cracked.com.

I think they broke the legs of crucifixion victims to speed up the process, as is stopped them from holding themselves up. According to the bible (as i recall), they were going to break Jesus’ legs so he wouldn’t be alive till the next day (which would mean they had to let him go), but it turned out he was already dead.
Personally however, i wouldn’t trust the bible on matters of history.
Another comedy gold strip Eoin, keep up the great work!!!
Would love to see more frequent postings to be honest, as I’m sure many others feel too.

Funny stuff! What’s Funnier: people overreacting. Thats what really made me laugh out loud. Make more blasphemous comics! We could all use a good laugh from all the silly overreacting Christians.

Not offensive at all. Sadly, not funny either.

Not sacrilegious. Not offensive. Not funny or witty.

Well, ‘funny’ is subjective and depends on the breadth of your sense of humour. It would seem that some of our religious bretheren tread a very narrow path when it comes to humour, and want everyone to walk in lock step on that path with them.
Wankers.
Great strip, Eoin. T’was clever and funny. I chortled a guilt free chortle.
