The "Pop-Mennonite Comic Book" is actually a collection of twenty-four comic books. Donated for the project by a fellow artist, these assorted comics were appropriated to contrast the philosophy of church theology with that of sequential entertainment. Old church bulletins were collaged into the pages from the archives of the artist's father who faithfully collected bulletins each Sunday for almost forty years. Most of the layouts are rather random and unplanned. Some of the juxtapositions manifested as rather serious commentary, while other pages are more amusing. Additional text was added to this special online exhibit. The quotes come from various books, online material, and emails.

Mennonites are encouraged to mail their contribution to the topics discussed in this online publication.
