The Biballical Chronicles: Let My People Ball portrays the legendary story of Moses in the book of Exodus with the zaniness of a Saturday morning cartoon. The three-issue series will fly through the entire narrative arc from the Israelites’ enslavement to their grand escape into the wilderness. The vision for this series is the grandeur of The Prince of Egypt meets the ridiculous humor of Veggietales.
Trigger warnings for this comic: antisemitism, child death, childbirth, slavery, and scary creatures.
The prologue has been released on the official website for free. The rest of Issue 1 will be released this winter.
