Tomics tickle the Catholic funny bone

The Tomics Collection of Catholic comics is published by The Catholic Fellows. The Catholic Fellows founder, Matt Martinusen, said the aim is to share the Gospel in a humourous way.

If God truly has a sense of humour, He would probably enjoy reading the Tomics Collection book by Tom Gould.

Tomics are weekly “religious funnies” published by The Catholic Fellows, a lay ministry that fosters men’s spiritual fellowship. Every Friday, their website features a new comic strip inspired by Scripture readings, lives of the saints or Catholic teaching.
