I told the story of John the Baptist's beheading at sunday school not that long ago and agonised over whether to sugarcoat the gory ending. I usually tell the story by drawing it as a cartoon and when I got to the climactic beheading, the children started giving me art directions, not only on how to draw his head on the platter but also insisted on adding a blood stain around the edges. I guess kids are just too desensitized to violence these days (hmm, I hope none of their parents are reading this right now). Anyway, getting to the point, this week gives the perspective of the chef who would've delivered John the Baptist's head on a platter. There were 12 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. SEVNOTE - The winning punchline for this cartoon hasn't been chosen yet. It will be chosen from the Finalist Punchlines at this weekend's IRC Judging Session. You are very welcome to participate - here are instructions on how to join in.This cartoon was archived on 2009-10-16.
