Classic Jack Hamm Cartoon: "Empty Shelves and Empty Pews"

"Empty Shelves and Empty Pews" by Jack Hamm. This cartoon appeared in the Sunday Journal and Star (Lincoln, Nebraska), Sunday, July 12, 1953

 

This 1953 comic panel by Jack Hamm illustrates the great truth of John 6:35, that Jesus is the Bread of Life, but many will seek to fill their hunger elsewhere. Hamm was a master of drawing techniques to create the illusion of mass crowds of people. This panel is a great example of that skill that he also shared in his popular drawing books.
