Panel 1: In this horizontal rectangular panel, a god-like, bearded figure in a robe appears beyond the horizon surrounded by clouds. He has his hands in the air as he looks down on the earth. In the foreground, two naked figures, presumably Eve and Adam, are seen from behind approaching a fruit tree. The woman reaches up toward a piece of fruit. In the background a river winds toward a mountainous landscape. The following text appears on the left: “Are these miracles? The dictionary says a miracle is ‘an event that appears unexplainable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God.’” On the right is the text, “Long-fall survival is certainly miraculous, but keep in mind that only a very small number of people who fall from great heights survive.” Panel 2: The second panel at the bottom left shows a small fighter plane firing at and destroying a World War II-era, four-engine bomber. A figure near the tail of the bomber can be seen falling toward a forest of fir trees. To the left and below, the text reads, “When they do survive, it is for some very specific reasons, such as what they hit when they reach the ground. Panel 3: In this panel an aviator is falling on the right next to a quote from Thomas McGarry, a Free Faller: “The way I look at it is that there were thousands who hit the silk during the war, and it would have been nothing short of a miracle if there hadn’t been one or two incidents like this.” This cartoon is part of a series called Falling. It is written and drawn by Jim Hamilton who can be found on Instagram at Green Harbor Publications (all one word, greenharborpublications).
