I love the newspaper cartoon strip called "PEANUTS". It was created by Charles Schultz who passed away a few years ago. My favorite edition is this one posted below:
[first lines]
Lucy Van Pelt: Aren't the
clouds beautiful? They look like big balls of cotton. I could just lie here all
day and watch them drift by. If you use your imagination, you can see lots of
things in the cloud's formations. What do you think you see, Linus?
Linus Van Pelt: Well, those
clouds up there look to me look like the map of the British Honduras on the
Caribbean.
[points up]
Linus Van Pelt: That cloud up
there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and
sculptor. And that group of clouds over there...
[points]
Linus Van Pelt: ...gives me
the impression of the Stoning of Stephen. I can see the Apostle Paul standing
there to one side.
Lucy Van Pelt: Uh huh. That's
very good. What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?
Charlie Brown: Well... I was
going to say I saw a duckie and a horsey, but I changed my mind.
Lord, give us the ability that Charlie Brown possesses -- the ability not to miss what's obvious, as simplistic as it may be. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Grateful

Peanuts had some solid theology.
My favorite theologians by far are the PEANUTS characters.
