Monday : A Comic Apocrypha

God's creation has entered its second work week, the eighth day.A new entity is forming in the garden, and the Snake, once the garden's manager, is filled with unease.Will this next-gen creature disrupt the established order?It falls upon Eden's first couple to intervene with their Maker before His latest creation makes them redundant.Yet, they must be cautious, for interfering with the creative process is a perilous game. In brushy black-and-white, Andy Hartzell has rendered into cartoon form the illuminated scriptures of "The People of the Eighth Day," an ancient gnostic sect. Or maybe he just made the story up. Either way, Monday is a provocative metaphysical slapstick comic, a fable for our unstable age.
