Here's a funny, page-by-page critique of an Old Testament Christian coloring book for children that was drawn by a particularly lazy artist. As Boing Boing reader dominiondancer points out in the BB Submitterator item, "Jonah writhes around on the beach like Madonna in the Cherish video, and two camels play Human (or Camel) Centipede."

    Maybe they’re trying to draw attention away from the plot?
