Separated at birth?
Author: Jimmy Akin
Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

That’s hilarious.
That’s gross.
Well, yeah. I mean, that’s kind of the point, in a sense….
Interesting coincidence. Either Genndy Tartakovsky musta known about the Madonna or both he & the Madonna’s artist based their work on the same source. I know that Samurai Jack frequently has quite a lot of references to various Japanese art styles. But I don’t think this image of Jack is meant to be a commentary.
I think I can confidently say that neither artist was aware of the other, nor were they working from a common source.
The essential basis for the comparison is that the L.A. Madonna artist chose an absurd style of dress and coiffure for Our Lady, not to mention a posture and facial attitude that, combined with said dress and hair, is at least as suggestive of Eastern mysticism as of Judeo-Christian contemplation and self-surrender.
Eww . . . by LA Madonna do you mean that thing is in that new Cathedral?
I hope I’m wrong!
Dev, I regret to inform you that you are not wrong.
