Linus Has Some Anger Issues...
...but he seems to be dealing with them rather well, I think:


Of course, it depends on who he's throwing the rocks at. Shultz sometimes had loosely-religious themed comics (there's one of snoopy floating down a river in a little basket, with linus quoting the bible and charlie brown saying "I don't think that's moses" that I used to have on my fridge), so I sorta expect Jesus to come out and give a good ol' "he who is without sin cast the first stone" speech. Maybe Jesus as Pig-Pen.

Vacancy
I dunno. I just think that sometimes comic strips are pure poetry.

Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Guy
I know that Hugo, at least, defends the idea that we ought to (mostly) feel sorry for Mel Gibson, a drunk with a lot of anger, but I feel differently. I feel that he's preachy in a way that is hypocritical to the extreme, even in his 'apology' to Jews for what he said (i.e. "saying those things goes against my religious beliefs," when he's shown repeatedly that he doesn't think they do). I do feel sorry for the guy--he's an angry, bigoted drunk, and that's not an easy place to be. But I also feel happy that his hypocrisy is on display for all to see, just as his 'holiness' (i.e. his making of a movie about how the Jews killed Jesus) was on display for all to see. It's fitting.

And, it makes for great comics (click to enlarge):
