Cartoonist should apologize

Thu., July 22, 2010

I did not find the Non-Sequitur comic funny in the Tuesday (July 13) issue of the newspaper. I found it an offensive blasphemy.

God does not have a wife, and when He rested, He saw all that He had made was very good, and it is blasphemous to make a joke that anyone criticize His work.

The author should apologize to the Christians who normally enjoy The Spokesman-Review and refrain from creating cartoons of this nature.
