Following from part one, I’m proud–and despite calling me a nutter, I’m sure Jon Lim is proud–to present the second part of the true story of Yeshua Herschel ben Yosef Christ–aka Jesus H. Christ.

Denim Trousers – Tour of America
I have a lot of ideas throughout the course of the day. Most of them are pretty crappy, but I write/say them anyway.
For example, I thought it would be a great idea for Jon Lim to draw a series of comics about the origins of stereotypes. Then I started writing them and realized that they were nothing more than the deranged ideas of a man desperately in need of coffee.
But then, as happens from time to time, I came up with a much, much better idea. I’d take the Brits (amongst whom Jon Lim currently resides) on a tour of America; to the places between NYC and L.A. In other words: Flyover Country.
Because, you see, the U.S. is a huge place with a whole lotta people in it. And these people are wide and varied–and that’s not just referring to their waistbands!
So, in a long-spanning series of a disgusting amount of comics, Denim Trousers and Simontek Studios present a Tour of America.

Jambalaya du Simon
Get it? Cause he had a song titled "Jambalaya."
Jambalaya de Simon
Sometimes I like to cook. My cooking is generally limited to simple things like cereal. Or toast. But other times, I like to make it a lot harder on myself and make something complicated.
Jambalaya is one of those times. And here is the recipe.
Raiding the Grocery Store
1 lb. Quick-cook rice
1 lb. Bone-free chicken breast, diced
4 links chorizo or andouille sausage
.5 lb. Peeled jumbo shrimp
1 onion, chopped
1 – 2 habañero pepper(s), chopped
4 – 5 chili peppers, various colors, chopped
3 bell peppers, chopped
Cajun spices
Turmeric
Ground garlic
Chili powder
Black pepper
2.5 pints of water or chicken stock
Big ole pot.
Lots of olive oil for cooking.
Cooking Time
– Coat the bottom of pot in the oil – use your judgment; the more oil, the less rice that sticks.
– Heat the pot on medium.
– Dump the chicken, garlic, sausage, and bell peppers in the pot; stir; let sit for 10 minutes.
– Dump in the rest along with the rice.
– Fill with 2.5 pints of water; dump in Cajun spices, turmeric, and chili powder; stir; bring up to high heat on boil.
– Once water has come to a boil, bring the heat down to a simmer and let sit until rice has absorbed the water.
– Dump in the shrimp, let sit 45 minutes to one hour; add black pepper; stir as little as possible.
Gorging Time
– Serve however.
– Make sure to have plenty of milk or liquor (enough to ensure a blackout and, thus, immunity from pain) available for guests.
