It’s no secret that I love puppet logic. This premise is so stupid, but in the context of the unwavering belief of puppets I find it hilarious. I was just going to do the next actual page, but I got the idea and I haven’t drawn Ronathan and Pamamda in a very long time. Their heritage is probably based on Ed and Jessica’s so there’s a lore tie to the actual characters. Anyway, real comic on Monday. I hope you had a safe and happy holiday whatever god, or lack of god, you pray, or don’t pray, to.

Have a nice weekend. I’ll see you Monday. Until then, You wish and I’ll whittle. You drip while I dry. Let’s all try to help a little, ’cause even a miracle needs a hand.

I mean, depending on which great grandmother on the mother’s side it is, they might actually be Jewish according to Jewish law, so…

That’s one of the funny things about identity. You may think of yourself one way, but society, other groups, different people, might see you as something else. Who is the ultimate judge?

True. My great grandmother on my mother’s side wasn’t Jewish, and yet I am Jewish. (Admittedly Ultra-Orthodox folks wouldn’t agree with me, but I reckon that’s THEIR problem.)

Yeah, as I understand it, my Dad’s grandmother was Jewish (Meijer), and therefore all her children are technically Jewish, even tho none of them are (or were, at this point, given they’re all dead) practicing. That makes my Dad’s Mom Jewish, and therefore, since she was Jewish, also my Dad.

But I’m not. Because my Mom is descended from a long line of Irish coal-mining people (with the occasional preacher and/or Highway bandit thrown in).

I’ve found it fascinating ever since I heard of the Right of Return… While he was alive, Dad had the Right to migrate to Israel.

But me and my brothers do not. Because we’re not Jewish.

The Israeli government can be rather more open when it comes to who qualifies for aliyah than the rabbinical courts are, so there’s a fair to good chance that you’d be able to emigrate to Israel under the Law of Return. I have the same ancestry, my fathers’ side of the family is Jewish, not my mothers, so as far as halacha is concerned I’m a gentile and would need to convert if I want to be considered Jewish, but the last time I looked into this I actually qualified to make aliyah. I think it depends on what the composition is of the coalition making up the government at the time, sometimes it swings more liberal, others more conservative.

And as you say, so long as the matrilineal line is unbroken, the children are Jewish, whether they know it or not, or are observant, or follow a different religion, or are atheist, it makes no difference.

Bro can still be Jewish and eat bacon. Not like heresy has ever stopped Christians from eating the devil’s delicacy. Or getting tattoos. Or celebrating Christmas (Jeremiah 10:2)

We got great grandma, and ma, but what about ma’s ma?

Because we need to read the Christian Holy-books, and the Jewish Holy-books, so that we can teach puppets- that puppets have the right to eat bacon?

I love the puppets. I forgot they were a thing. Christ I hope the first movie No does is a puppet play based around a Campaign Rulette runs for the gang. That would be glorious.

I was just wondering after the puppets the other day, and contemplating the absence of Christmas specials that were once so standard for webcomics.
The puppets’ antics are always a treat.
