Reverend Lovejoy Goes All in

The town of Springfield enjoys going to church. But little do they know, their spiritual leader, Reverend Lovejoy has a secret gambling problem. When the secret gets leaked, people lose their faith in him.
I think this is the first Reverend Lovejoy centric video. It was based off of one of my old comics, I think it turned out quite well! There was a bit of rotoscoping done here, when they were playing roulette, I had to cover up flanders and put in lovejoy and where lovejoy is mumbling when the town found out his secret. Hope you enjoyed it!

[@helenlovejoy2613]

@@seanoleary4374 Um... I'm sure that the nice new house is surely a reward from God, in return for all the good deeds that he did in his life. I'm certain that he didn't take donations and spend it on himself. Obviously theres no such thing as a Christian who would do something like that.. right? Stealing from people is what atheists like Marge's disgusting husband do. Unlike a good Christian Samaritan , like myself.

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

Its not just the churches. It can be applied to pretty much every instuition of power, in which those in charge are dishing out judgement but can't take it, themselves. Its kind of like how, for CEOs, there is a higher degree of sociopathic tendencies, when compared to normal people. Its one of two cases: 1.) These institutes of power attract people who have more "evil" tendencies 2.) The more disturbing of the two: People who go into these institutions have their "evil"-ness amplitified.

It would be nice to see an episode dedicated to the most important lady in Reverend Timothy Lovejoy's life, that being me, obviously. I still have no idea why it hasn't been done already, I mean c'mon, i'm the most popular character. Yet he keeps making episodes about Marge Simpson of all people, one of the most bland and boring people on God's green earth.

[@BizarreJokestar]

How nice of the whole town to gather around outside of the casino to support Lovejoy's gambling streak! Including Homer who was just by Lovejoy's side but now with his family to pretend he totally didn't supply his gambling addiction.
