Divine Intervention, The World Series And a Sentence Full Of Clauses

by Hilary Price

What with the Red Sox winning the World Series, and the divine intervention that may have happened to get them there (let’s not credit the beards– they were gross), this adds credence to my theory that in ancient times, when the Jews were wandering around for 40 years, God had them spend some of that time in Boston. How else to explain that a word spelled “yarmulke” came to be pronounced “ya-ma-cah”?

This and other inaccurate lore is available in my new comic book collection Hanukkomics.  It will be for sale at my Open Studios Event Nov. 9th & 10th, or you can order it online here.
