Oh...oh no

Dafydd Mac an Leigh

"to the BEAT". I see what you did there, and it's HORRIFYING.

Doc Brown

...wow Just... Wow

William Tessmer

As Sarah correctly noted, it's always trauma stacked on trauma, all the way down. Here we see some of the earliest foundations.

C

...Dear Lord...that's not right.

Erika

You know, when I read the first panel, I assumed that "to the beat" was not an intentional pun, and I felt bad that my mind even went there. Then I read the rest of the strip. I'm going to be seeing panel 3 in my nightmares.

Pax

spare the rod, spoil the child. completely, totally, absolutely normal, and definitely something that makes perfect and complete sense to defend when your friends at college give you WtAF talks over it. especially when it isn't just her shitty mom, but every. single. adult. she. knew. For her own good! (holy SHIT my partner just pointed out that the actor for Hymmel is also IN BLACKFACE to match the cover of the book, wow, WOW, Willis, that is some solid attention to detail WOW TERRIBLE.)

Harold

I can't help but wonder whether there was a real-life Psalty the Singing Songbook episode that promoted/defended corporal punishment like this (probably minus the "whores of Babylon" line, but maybe not). Man, oh, man.

C.T. Phipps

It reminds me of some of the local stations that promoted nutty apoclaypse stuff.

Shane Wegner

I wonder if this actor ever questions his life choices leading to the current moment.

Ryan Kertai

I’m realizing there’s a surprising lack of votes for Hymmel bonus strips each month. What gives?

Axa Lotta

Today I learned Psalty the Singing Songbook is a thing that exists. J.F.C.

Ghillie

This makes me angry and I am not a person who gets angry often.

Ryan Kertai

I went back and noticed there was a strong showing in the last one. I guess I was in and out of the voting thread too early last month.

Laura Knapp

Every few years I'm reminded of that singing songbook and how much i ised to watch as a kid and it just gets more uncomfortable each time

Regalli

Apparently this is accurate to (one of the) Psalty costumes, where the psalmbook is a very dark blue and uh, yeah.

Spencer

I'm sorry for what I said today. I'm so wrapped up in my own head, I ignored how much writing and drawing this out must be emotionally exhausting to you.

Jayne Lindgren

This doesn't feel like much of a bonus, David. :(

Amós Batista

Finally my request of DoA char Vote has been done! But, with all requests we made in life, they always come with a price...

Treading Ground

This is a new world compared to the secular abuse I grew up with. When I had a typewriter thrown at me, at least it wasn't thrown with the power of The Lord

PotentPinion

Putting on night vision goggles to read the comic

Harold

David M Willis: Giving you exactly what you want in exactly the way you didn't want it, since 1997.

Packy Anderson

Can we request Babylon's Whores for bonus strips? That might get me to stop asking for the Fuck Truck.

Jen

why are his eyes so soulful in panel 3

Wednesday

This is perfect.

Pax

I mean, you've already got 'em. Leslie, Dorothy, Sarah - the Whore(s) of Babylon is just "People Who Don't Want A Theocracy."

Pax

There's times when I'm genuinely very, very glad that my mom didn't let us have a TV, and this is one of them.

Regalli

His sclera are visible, so you know he’s serious.

Taffy

This gives me [adult swim] vibes, in a good way. The fact that it's based on a real thing adds to that.

Giant Speck

I'm kind of concerned that his hair looks like Ryan's.

Kyle

"to the beat" argh.

Amós Batista

wait a minute: there's hair on the book. THE BOOK HAS HAIR

Uniquitous

That was unsettling.

Snail

I can't believe we're all paying $5 a month to vote for trolling ourselves like this, this is worth at least $10 a month.

Machalt

What the shit

Omnithea

I think I might vomit.

Inahc

Nightmare fuel on sooooo many levels

Chris Gropp

I'm glad I saw this before ruining it. Also, as monstrously dark as this is, it's good content.

Regalli

And yet I would still find this less unsettling than the one with the animatronic face. I think.

Amós Batista

Everyone makes mistakes, Spencer. I've read this comment you're talking about yesterday.

zaratustra

As horrible as expected. Capital work, Willis.

Seth Swanson

No, but, guys this isn't much of an exaggeration. For my non-evangelical raised people hop on YouTube and search for Psalty. It's...not good. You will need bleach for your eyes and your brain.

Seth Swanson

Right? That shit had fallen right out of my brain until one of the channels I watched covered it and everything came back like "Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh noooooooooooo".

Seth Swanson

This also brings back memories of the horrible horrible "Be careful little ears what you hear" song and all the awful thought crimey consequences of that.

Sarah vdP

..."for the Father up above is looking down in LOVE" ... really? The loving version of God is why I need to "be careful little eyes what you see?" Yep. Grew up with the same things as you.

Amós Batista

Hey, I know this song, it's famous in my language, too.

Fisherman’s Fencer

I have never been more in favor of book-burning than at this precise moment.

C.T. Phipps

The Jack Chick types love burning books. Mind you, they don't want or need the Bible save as a prop. The actual content means whatever they claim it means not actually, "give away all your possessions" and "die rather than hurt someone else."

C.T. Phipps

You deserve all the likes, David, for coming up with something so demented.

C.T. Phipps

Three cheers for Willis creating a strip that may traumatize me for years. Seriously. :)

Wes Wiens

Oh shit, what if he’s Ryan’s dad? Seems like the actor might be a pastor like Ryan said his dad was, the ages also seem to line up.

Joseph Patriquin

That was probably another character in the show.

Hambolove16

Wtf... This is why I hated most religious kid shows

Sean Murphy

Also, Bibles are annoyingly fireproof. Don't ask me how I know that.
