Synopsis: Cartoons aren't just for Kids! "Sons of Thunder: The Cartoon Seri=
es For Christians" gives you a moment to just sit back and smile at life.
"Sons of Thunder" features a sarcastic cat that hates dogs and loves to moc=
k the family he lives with. Feel free to join him in his disdain for dogs b=
ut beware that mocking the family in his presence is strictly forbidden.
Then there are the two brothers who are close in age but opposite in person= ality. Their innocent perspectives on life are comical, and the clashes the=
y have with each other are to be expected. However, don't say anything nega= tive about one of the brothers in the presence of the other.
Don't forget the parents who, in addition to raising two young boys, must d= eal with the dynamics of the wife trying to help the husband become a bette=
r man, and the husband giving her a lot of reasons to do so.
And, of course, a pastor with a sense of humor who could write many sermons=
based on his encounters with the family. To top it off, we have a Bavarian=
police officer in an American cartoon!
Critique: Fun, funny, and with many a moral, "Sons of Thunder: The Cartoon = Series For Christians" by Stephen Paul Grow is an original and laugh-out-lo=
ud collection of memorable, insightful, and sitcom worthy cartoons. Also av= ailable in a digital book format (Kindle, $6.99), "Sons of Thunder" is an e= xtraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to personal reading list=
s and community library Contemporary Humor collections.
