“The ant and the hippo” or “Trouble Brewering”
2008 August 11
I was asked by someone to do a cartoon for the Dave Walker freedom of speech campaign. I recall something vaguely about a toilet(?) but unfortunately I couldn’t find the original post. So here’s my entry. You can find more information on this situation here: Dave Walker Cease and Desist Notice – Campaign Resources.
If you are inspired you can finish the folktale.
it hopped a ship to mozambique where it found itself surrounded by missionaries whose incessant gabbing made it long for the days when the only sound it heard was the hippo. so, in good ant fashion, it jumped on a rubber tree plant and floated across the ocean. sadly, however, right before it was to reach land, which was in sight!, a fish spotted it on the branch and leaping into the air, swallowed, ant, branch, and all.
the moral of the tale is- better satisfied with the mumblings of the hippo than to seek happier, yet non existent, silence amidst missionaries
You’re much too creative to be a theologian… Can’t wait until we co-author a book.
