Christian comics for adults
Almost every Christian comic is drawn for children. These are not. They are short, hand-drawn stories about the things that actually keep grown adults awake: doubt, comparison, money, waiting, and the quiet suspicion that God has gone quiet on you.
Every comic is four to ten panels, takes about a minute to read, and sits on one passage of Scripture. There is no sign-up and nothing to pay. The whole archive is below.
The character is called Cody, which is also my name, because most of these started as something I was working through myself rather than something I had already figured out.
When you are anxious
For the nights spent rehearsing everything that could go wrong.
When you are waiting
For the seasons where nothing seems to be moving and you are tired of asking.
When you are comparing yourself to everyone else
For the days your worth feels like a score you keep losing.
When you are trying to stay in control
For the things you are still holding with both hands.
When God feels far away
For the stretch where you have not really been praying either.
Common questions
Are these suitable for children?
Children can read them and often do. The subjects are written for adults though, so a lot of it will land differently for a nine year old than it will for someone who has been paying a mortgage for ten years.
Which translation do you use?
The English Standard Version, quoted in full on each comic alongside the reference.
Is any of this drawn with AI?
No. The comics, drawings, and any illustrations are drawn and designed by me.
How often do new ones go up?
A few times a week, and one physical book goes out to Mail Club members each month.
