From time to time, modern day character icons on television evoke the spirit of classical literary figures or even biblical ones. It's not hard to imagine Mr. Bill or the Gingerbread man as envisioned in the movie shrek as your modern day Job from the first testament of the Holy Bible.

Like Job, they both have uncanny bad luck, bestowed upon them by a higher power. Like Job, they remain steadfastly firm in their determination to live their lives as best they can. And like Job, our hearts pour out to them.

In many ways, these characters are like Lot from the bible as well. They both have lead and pioneered the way for all manner of other lovable clay animation and computer animated characters. They both are rocks and pillars of their own morality in a world that is unusually cruel to them. Before Mr. Bill there was only Rudolph and various characters on PBS for children. After Mr. Bill, there was an explosion of claymation and rendered characters that adults could enjoy. Without them, we'd never reach the promised land of South Park and PowerPuff girls.

Unlike Lot, they weren't easily made drunk by their own daughters so they could participate in insestuous sex, nor did they give their daughters up for rape to avoid seeing homosexual acts in their house--I mean, cause God didn't consider these two characters to be morally pure enough for that sort of experience, I guess. But I digress, these two characters can NOT be underestimated for their impact on television and pop culture.



On one hand you have Mr. Bill, who started it all. Even the Gingerbread man himself was modelled after Mr. Bill. But like Eddie Murphy using Richard Prior as his model, the new breed icons took it to another level.

Mr. Bill started it--Gingerbread man starred in 3 huge box office smashes.

The verdict is out on who's the best.



I would love our opinion on this.
