    This is fantastic. I would love to know what your illustration for Pop-era “Bono and the Cross” would have looked like …

    I understand what you mean with the drawings, and I like them, but…as a religious person sometimes I think it’s sad to know that he has shaped his spirituality according to times and not thru experience.
    Snif.

    oh, i like to think that bono’s spirituality has grown over the years, and it is interesting to see how that force has been directed thruout t u2′s career. whether they’ve been awed by God, hidden it from the public, burdened by it, enjoyed it, and finally becoming it — it’s all about maturing as a person, and i like to think bono has done well with his beliefs.

    bono hasn’t shaped his spirituality to the the times. bono simply matured from a boy to a man.

    Your last post made me think…maybe I’m afraid of what I can become in my spirituality, and that’s why I see them as I do.
    Keep doing an excelent job, Ian. I like your drawings. Thanks for them

    I think if bono put his spirituality out there on the forefront more than he has, he might be another Martin Luther King Jnr. I think he has tried to out do being a martyr so far. I think he is cleverly using his spirituality to communicate his messages. I mean what a song Wake up dead man on the album of all albums Pop. He subtly does things. I dig it Bons, I get your drift. Sometimes I ponder about the whims and ways of the man, but I ponder about my own sometimes too.

    Excellent strip, Ian! I just hope you’re not one of those “Pop didn’t happen! Pop didn’t happen!” types :P

    oh, on the contrary, i think pop is an outstanding album — the last u2 album that really challenged their audiance. i thought the tour was wonderful, too.

    i wish u2 would stop knockin’ it.

    [...] This is a great cartoon breaking down U2’s faith and music transformation over the last 30 odd years. Cheers to the crew over at u2sermons for the link. Posted in Music [...]

    I can’t stand cross-shaped Bono. It’s not suitable for this era.. But i still think Ian is the One for makin’ u2oon. Chosen one.
