As #Christmas rolls around, I once again post this timeless illustration by Everett Patterson from 2014, titled “José y Maria”. Ever more poignant today.

Comic illustration: a Hispanic couple outside a convenience store, on a rainy night. The image is filled with references to the Nativity in the Gospels. The man is on a payphone with a phone book in his hand, while the woman sits on a coin-operated donkey ride. Posters on the convenience store advertise “Weisman” cigarettes, “Starr” beer, and “Good News” candy. Round and starburst stickers form halos around the couple’s heads. A neon sign in the background reads “Dave’s City Motel—No Vacancy”.
