God comics

Tom Heinen reports in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on religion in comic books, including something seen online for the first time in his article.
Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan Closer to home, a smiling cartoon image of Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan wearing a bishop's miter greets readers of the kids' page in the weekly Catholic Herald with a word balloon that says, "Hey kids! I have a message just for you!"

Started last summer, it is an unusual outreach for a U.S. Catholic bishop, said Brian Olszewski, executive editor and general manager of the newspaper. Greenfield commercial artist Mario Macari, who developed the page and its other faith-oriented cartoons and games, hopes to syndicate it to other dioceses around the country, Olszewski added.
