25 years ago i was still in hebrew school (tuesdays and thursdays 4-6pm) and i would have been able to read this, not just sound it out, but translate it halfway decently. now i don't know what it says, but i do remember when i read a hebrew bazooka joe way back then it still wasn't funny (not even as funny as an english bazooka joe comic).
here i do recognize the word shul, meaning synagogue. and phonetically the word after shul may be discotheque, but that can't be right. i'll just make it up then.
starting from the top left right, eyepatch kid says: "i totally am not monotheistic like at all and i hate shul."
blue jew with sideburns and mini-mohawk says: "i see. look deep into this bowl and therin you will find the mysteries of the universe" or okay he doesn't say that because there's no word bubble but it's what he's thinking.
eyepatch kid says: "all i can see in there are some empy bazooka joe wrappers as if to taunt me with their cheap quick sweetness yet have no payoff inside such as afforded by a visit to one's local discotheque."
blue jew says: "candy is only for those boys who believe in one g-d, beeyatch. snap!"
or something like that.
Aren't you supposed to read it right to left?
If so, we see him ordering from the menu, getting his order, saying "WTF?", then second column delivers the punchline, which I'm sure is hee-larious.
Followed by a jewish horoscope or something- I can't remember what the blob of text is in the english version.
If I am right then I am more Jewish than you. Who's the chosen one now?

hereticsaint: ok, i totally meant to say starting from the top right. but regardless of that, you must be more jewish than me because you capitalized the j and you're a lawyer.
