'You spend all afternoon with our lord and savior and all you can say is he's a "nice guy"?'

I just about died when I got to this line. *big cheezy grin* I must say this is one of the most bizarre books I have read in a long time. Tim is a short dumpy little guy who works in the mail room of a company called Christianity, Inc. One day, one of Tim's co-workers challenge him to sneak up into "the BIG guy's office". Tim's co-worker distracts the secretary while Tim sneaks into Jesus' office undetected.

Tim ends up talking to Jesus for a while and giving him marketing advice for how to spread Christianity. One day Tim convinces Jesus to leave his office for the first time in eons. Once outside, he sees that humanity has lost touch with the original spirit of Christianity. He and Tim then decide that the only thing that can save humanity is the second coming of Christ.

No, it's not anywhere near as moralistic as I'm sure it sounds at the moment. It's really a very funny, witty book. This is only one book in the Hey Mister series, and not all of them contain Jesus. This issue is very inventive and highly entertaining. The art is cartoony and goes perfectly with the tone of the book. I highly recommend this book. :D If you see it in your local comic shop, you should definitely pick it up.
