I have always struggled to find real redeeming qualities in Samson, other than killing loads of Israel’s enemies. Perhaps he is just a larger-than-life negative example. All of this brought to mind by today’s Watch Your Head, by Cory Thomas. Quincy, the young man, is trying to get up the nerve to tell his father, a pastor, that he has gotten his girlfriend pregnant. (Interestingly, given the Samson reference in today’s strip, just a couple of days ago “ritual suicide” was ruled out since it is not a “Christian tradition.”)
