Dude, love the comic.  But what I love more is the photo of you that makes you look, in the words of Paris Hilton, "hot."  
My Uncle Marty the Catholic Deacon gave me the Song of Songs as a graduation gift.  His wife said she knew when he had been reading it, because he became "all frisky."

HAHAHA! Dear god.

It's amazing how much more scandalous something seems when you put the words to graphics. Very cool. Alicia Suskin Ostriker has an almost equally scandalous version of the Song of Songs in her book The Nakedness of the Fathers.

While Eli's drawings are cool, I found the argument against God to be kind of old and reductionist. Hasn't our culture already heard enough about this canard against God for all the problems in the world? Isn't it more honest to lay the blame at the "feet" of the Biblical authors for their own editorial choices about God's behavior in the Bible--if indeed that's the issue?

In a magazine that proudly pitted Sam Harris the Unbeliever against Dennis Praeger the Believer, why not investigate in comic form a new direction of this discourse other than whipping up a faux scandal over sexy cartoons?

Rabbi Akiva, credited by the Mishnah with inventing this notion of Song of Songs being a love poem between God and the Jewish people was hardly a drooling moron or proto-Talibanist out to emasculate Judaism of its sexuality. The metaphor--albeit an outmoded form of communication in our media saturated culture--meant something back in the day. And the idea that you could sublimate (not repress) the sexuality of the Song of Songs into a mongamous relationship was radical in its time and worth considering today as well.

I found Eli's comic to be the most original, brilliant, compelling and deliciously funny satire since Police Academy 6.

The longer this is up, the more I dislike it. It's not clever, or original, or well-drawn. It is definitely disrespectful to a lot of Jews, not in a reasoned, well-argued way, but in an ugly, spiteful way. If you wanna criticize faith in god, go nuts, but use someting more clever than this.
Please take it down.

The very heart of doing things of meaning lies in being disrespectful to those who want to censor our minds. I also do not go around demanding the Chabad to be taken down, for G-ds sake. So stop being a Mugabe and look somewhere else for your kind of fun.

While a bit crude, Muffti thinks that this is worthwhile and thought provocative; Muffti has a great deal of respect for slow careful argument but he also thinks you are rather impoverished in your sensibilities if you can't chuckle at a clever manipulation and use of mildly vulgar things to twist the meaning of the sacred to the profane.

I hate to be picky Anonymous Muffti, but "thought provocative?" What does that even mean? Eli's cartoon does not present anything new or provocative - if that's indeed what you meant. "The Song of Songs is about sex?" Stop the presses! And that cock shot of God and his uncircumcised member? Is that what passes for humor these days? I ordinarily like edgy humor but this cartoon is neither edgy, nor is it humorous. Muffti's effusive praise can only mean one of two things - Muffti is a close friend of Valley, or Muffti is Valley's girlfriend.

You know it's funny. You know that's not a picture of "G-d" in any conception of Judaism beyond that of a first grader's picture book. I think it just makes you folks a little uncomfortable, and so you want to criticize it. Don't worry, just turn off the internet, close your eyes, and the nagging world outside your fixed world-view will go away.

Fixed world view? I am no fan of God. Not by any means. Valley's cartoon was adolescent. That's my only gripe.
