"Going Home" in Yummy Fur #12 (1988) is a stark, unsettling story from Chester Brown, whose writing and art—pencils, inks, and lettering—are all his own—chronicling a surreal twist with quiet dread. When Bick and Ed wake up after surgery to find their bodies swapped, Mrs. Backman brings Ed home, believing him to be her husband, while Gerry’s report to the RCMP sets off a chain of events that pulls Bick into custody. The cover, also by Brown, captures the story’s uneasy tone with its stark, precise line work.

In this powerful chapter from *Yummy Fur* #12, Jesus moves through Jerusalem with quiet authority, healing Bartimaeus the blind man and entering the city on a colt, drawing both wonder and tension from those around him. As he confronts the money traders in the temple and curses a fig tree, the disciples—James, John, Peter, and the others—witness a moment of prophetic intensity, their faith tested by the unfolding drama.
