Just when I think I've found the most demented early Christian sect the Circumcellions rock up with a two by four like a 4th century incarnation of Fight Club and angrily demand that I reset the scale.

Every now and then I'll get a version of the question "what the hell is the tattoo on Ellie's left shoulder?" I have located the original design I did before I drew her first appearance in Meeting Comics #2 in 2018. First three images are panels from THE DIVORCE PARTY. Last image: tattoo design.

Given that the Logos of John is the Son, while the dove descending on Jesus was the Holy Spirit, the only conclusion we can draw is that the Trashmen were advocates of the Binitarian heresy.
