Cartoonist Faces Greek Jail

Cartoonist Gerhard Haderer finds himself facing jail time in Greece over his “depiction of Christ as a binge-drinking friend of Jimi Hendrix and naked surfer high on cannabis.” “Haderer did not even know that his book, The Life of Jesus, had been published in Greece until he received a summons to appear in court in Athens in January charged with blasphemy. He was given a six-month suspended sentence in absentia, but if he loses his appeal next month his sentence could be increased to two years.”
