By the time they’re done, Jesus might just reach the end of His rope.

JOKE-OGRAPHY:
In the previous cartoon, John resolved to teach his cousin, Jesus, how to swim.  The catch: the child Jesus can’t actually go INTO water because (in my cartoons) He hasn’t learned how to turn off His walking-on-water superpower.  In this cartoon, it appears John’s method for helping Jesus submerge is somewhat crude, consisting of a rope with one end tied to Jesus’s waist and the other end tied to an anvil (which John’s devotion allows him to hold with remarkable ease).  Will releasing the anvil succeed in pulling Jesus underwater, or will the rope bisect our gentle Messiah?  (People who read ahead in the Bible please no spoilers.)
