Judaism is the world's most obsessive-complusive book club. Every week, religous Jews read a portion or "parsha" of the Hebrew Bible, so that at the end of a year we've read the whole thing. Then we start all over again. Every week we create a comic based on that week's Torah portion.

Parsha Shemot
The End of The Beginning,
This week we slam shut the book of Breishit/Beginning/Genesis. Jacob recites a prophetic poem, blessing and cursing his sons. He blesses Joseph's sons too, predicting that they will "multiply abundantly like fish." Joseph dies after reminding his descendents that, "G-d will surely remember you, and bring you up out of this land to the land of which he swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."
In this week's comic, heaven's newest professor tries to teach rowdy angels what the book was all about.
