The dark (chocolate) night of the soul.
___
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
Traditionally, on Valentine's Day, couples buy each other gifts and sweets to show their love. Emo Emi, being chronically unlikable but also a chocoholic, has resorted to buying herself enough chocolate to put her into two consecutive comas. She's looking forward to those comas until her parents' darned RELIGION gets in the way. You see, this year, Valentine's Day falls on Ash Wednesday. For Christians, Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting, which means no meats, and no sweets. In this cartoon, Emi vents to her friend, Olga, about how having all this chocolate and not being allowed to eat it is the absolute height of Christian suffering. Olga tries to chasten Emi by reminding her that some Christians suffer far worse fates than a day without chocolate -- some even die for their faith. However, in her delusional state of grief, Emi would much rather the death.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Oops, I've done it again. It's another "Tomics Resurrection" where I redraw a cartoon from a few years ago and, like God on the sixth day, take it from GOOD to VERY GOOD. This one is from 2018, the last time this same combination of holidays occurred. Back then, Emi's personality was still in flux. Now that she's become a more defined character (petulant pseudo-intellectual Christian-wanna-not-be), I had to adjust the dialogue a little, but I think I've kept the same spirit. Also, back in ye olde yeare ofe 2018e, I apparently didn't respect any semblance of character continuity, so Emi's shape and colors change drastically between the first and second panels. Must've been a rush job. Poor 2018 Tom. Such a child. Anyway, how do YOU think the new compares to the old?

I hate the social taboo that exists for people who don't fast. Yes, according to Jewish law you cannot fast if you physically cannot, but that doesn't mean there still isn't the social stigma and lack of education.
I had a guy ask me last night during Kol Nidrei if he's allowed to drink water. He has pancreatitis. It should have been made obvious to him immediately that of course he doesn't have to fast. He shouldn't have had to nervously search for someone who could answer his question after the fast had already started. When hosting the pre-fast meal, the Rabbi should have included in his announcements that if you have a medical condition that makes fasting dangerous, you should not fast.
It should be made clear before any fast starts that you shouldn't fast if you can't. But instead, in many communities, people with medical conditions feel ashamed for not fasting and sometimes even force themselves to fast when they shouldn't. It shouldn't be assumed that everyone in the congregation is fasting, yes, even if almost everyone in the congregation is below the age of 40 (this is another compounding issue- people thinking young people can't have certain medical conditions). And this stigma is dangerous.

25 September 2023 - 10 Tishrei 5784
Yes. Today is Yom Kippur—The Day of Atonement.
Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish year. It is observed by a near twenty-six hour fast, in which some will abstain from food, drink, sex, washing, applying lotions or perfumes, and wearing leather shoes. Some will attend up to five prayer services across Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur ends with a blowing of the Shofar, a rams horn, which signals the closing of the Gates of Heaven, and the end of the fast. Yom Kippur is often followed by a festive break-fast meal
Due to the solemn nature of Yom Kippur, one does not typically wish someone a “Happy Yom Kippur”. Consider instead wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur, or a good year.

Fasting Sweetspo Motivation
My lovely, you’ve been working and fighting so hard to get where you’re at. Are you hungry? That’s okay, I’ll tell you what to do. Get up slowly. Now as you walk feel how light you are without having eaten. You glide across the floor and leaving no sound or mark behind you. Make yourself your favourite tea. Focus on the progress: the water boiling, the tea brewing how water changes colours. Pick you cup up and glide across the house as the light being that you are. Have a sit, cover with a nice warm blanket, play your comfort show and drink that lovely tea. Feel the warmth slowly washing that hunger away. Remind yourself how far you’ve come in your fast. Lastly, what doesn’t challenge you won’t change you.

Fasting for 16 hours and being full after 10 minutes is a prime example of how fleeting the pleasures of this world are and how small this life is.

صوم
When we are fasting, we are diminishing all worldly distractions. Forgetting the things that are simply surface-level. We naturally begin to seek what is most soulfully fulfilling; learning the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, gaining wisdom and sabr, and attaining better habits and knowledge. Giving sadaqah. And ultimately pursuing the pleasure of Allah ﷻ.
This month is about nourishing our soul rather than feeding our stomachs.

Luxury. Refinement. Power.
___
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
1. The Holy Spirit asks Jesus if He forgot His lunch, and Jesus responds in the affirmative, as if forgetting His lunch is something He was supposed to do. The Holy Spirit's question is similar to a mother reminding her children to pack their lunches for school, but the opposite, reminding Jesus to forget His lunch instead of bring it. This is because Jesus is going into the desert to fast (eat less than usual as a religious sacrifice), so He's not supposed to bring lunch with him.
2. The Bible translation I drew from said, "The Spirit drove Jesus out to the desert." To "drive" someone can either mean (1) to encourage, cause, or force them to do something; or (2) to take them somewhere by automobile. In the Bible, they mean the former. I, being of sound mind and gentle soul, innocently wonder, "Why not both?"
3. Jesus declares that he's "going TO fast" (going to eat less than usual). But this sounds like "going TOO fast" (going at an irresponsible speed). The Holy Spirit assumes Jesus is saying the latter, and corrects Him by saying They're going the speed limit (i.e. not too fast).
4. The car is based on the one featured in the hit television program, "Joe Pera Talks With You." It's a white 2001 Buick Park Avenue, which his students call, "God's car." Now, it IS God's car.
