Cultural Appropriation

To some this may be the wrong time of the year to poke fun at Bronze Age myths but, to me, it's the perfect time. After all, the Church inserted Jesus into a perfectly good Saturnalia, or whatever the local nomenclature was for the harvest celebration, and that just grinds my gears.

But it could be that the Church simply moved the little nipper's birth date to late December because it was too dang close to Good Friday and people of that time kept getting confused about exactly what they were celebrating. Sort of like showing up for Thanksgiving still wearing your sexy plumber costume.

I want to thank those of you who took the time to bid on my progressive scrawlings in my eBay auction, and especially to the winners, Jason and Andrew. The final amount wasn't as much as I'd hoped but it was still plenty nonetheless.

Scheduling Note: Because of that Jesus kid and his weird guilt-based religion the next few days are going to pass more rapid than eagles for Lefty as I've got a ton of preparations, and cookies, to make. So don't be surprised if the Wednesday and Friday editions of ye olde Raging Pencils feature past progressive emanations.

Excelsior!
