david hayward, a.k.a. naked pastor, is pure. one of those deeply good people with no guile in them. a very rare breed.
and once in a while, david’s cartoons speak more in one panel than an entire sermon could ever hope. like, this one he posted today:

buy david’s book of comics, btw.
i’m a big fan of david hayward. david is a blogger, cartoonist, artist, and pastor, with a quiet and humble revolutionary spirit. david was part of the team i took on my 2nd trip to haiti, earlier this year.

“Ever since I stumbled upon David’s cartoons, I’ve been hooked.” Hemant Mehta
