This is the 8th Day

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In this Bible story, the apostles are hiding in fear and regret after Jesus's crucifixion. Suddenly, the resurrected Jesus shows up and they all rejoice. Well, all of them except Judas (who was... indisposed... if you catch my meaning) and Thomas (who presumably had errands). Later, when Thomas rejoins the apostles, they tell him they saw Jesus, but Thomas refuses to believe it. He's logical, but also very emotional after Christ's death. He needs to see and feel the wounds himself to believe. Days later, Jesus reappears while Thomas is with the apostles, and He offers for Thomas to feel His wounds. Thomas is amazed and believes now that he's seen, but Jesus blesses those who believe WITHOUT seeing. 2. In this cartoon, Peter tells Thomas about Jesus's appearance, and, as in the story, Thomas doesn't believe him. However, unlike in the story, as Thomas begins his declaration of doubt, Jesus sneaks up behind him and puts His hands over his eyes, urging Thomas to guess Who's behind him. The old "guess who" gag is popular among friends... so I'm told... though rarely do participants have giant see-through nail-wounds in their hands, defeating the purpose of covering someone's eyes. This is not only hilarious and funny, but also reverent and hole-y.
