Description

...And the saint spoke to them, saying "All, all, all are mad, all things that crawl upon the earth or swim upon the waters, all creatures that draw breath, all are mad and there is no sane one among them." And the people hearing this were sorely vexed and there was no tea to console them.

I particularly like the chapter and verse layout:

I can see someone at a sporting event holding up a sign with this on it.

Ha I've seen/read a lot of re-interpretations of the story "Alice in Wonderland", but I haven't seen a religiously-geared one before. Very clever and funny! (The art is great too!)

[blockquote]"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you ca'n't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."[/blockquote]
Probably Wonderland's wisest denizen.

The caption absolutely makes this image (not that the saint itself isn't gorgeous); I need to find a full Book of Wonder.

You must be new here. Β The caption makes almost everything in this entire body of work.

The Great Goddess of Hearts, of course.

True, there's more than enough of him to go around, and who says there's only the one deity in that Pantheon.

Can't have a pantheon with only one deity, y'know.Β  It just isn't done. :-p
