Dry Bones (comic)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dry Bones is an Israeli political cartoon penned by Yaakov Kirschen, and carried in the Jerusalem Post. As with the rest of the newspaper, the text of the cartoon is in English.
Drawn in a comic strip format, Dry Bones has been a staple of the Israeli consciousness since its inception in 1973. Kirschen says that he got the name for the cartoon from the Biblical book of Ezekiel.[1]
Dry Bones has a decidedly Zionist bent to it, and Kirschen has recently started the Dry Bones Project, whose official mission is "using humor to combat anti-semitism".
