Unfortunately for my pedantry, I saw someone reskeet this comic *right after* I happened to reread what Lewis *actually* said about allegory and Aslan, and now I am compelled to be a pedantic dick about it (at least not quote-skeeting them though).

Meanwhile C.S. Lewis was gyrating in his grave so fast the coffin was smoking.

L'occasion idéale de ressortir ce banger auquel je pense spontanément parfois, et qui ne me fera jamais pas rire.
Webcomic signé "reparrishcomics", de 2020, titré "Tolkien vs Lewis : Allegories". Dans le premier panel on voit une étudiant qui s'adresse à Tolkien : "Professor Tolkien, is it true that you wrote your novels as an allegory for the first world war ? - No. Never. Ask me that again and I will call the police." Dans le second panel, on voit C.S. Lewis à l'air malheureux, penché sur son manuscrit, en train de penser : "If even one eprson reading this does not understand that the big lion is Jesus, I will set myself on fire."

I know some writers who use subtext. They’re all cowards.
A comic by reparrishcomics in 2020: Interviewer: Professor Tolkien! Is it true that you wrote your novels as an allegory for the First World War? Tolkien: No. Never. Ask me that again and I will call the police. Meanwhile, C.S. Lewis thinks to himself: If even one person reading this does not understand that the big lion is jesus, I will set myself on fire.

A four-panel comic titled “WE NEED TO REPLACE HIM” by reparrishcomics (2014). • Panel 1: A close-up of the Teletubby Tinky Winky smiling and saying “TINKY WINKY!” with musical notes. • Panel 2: Teletubbies Dipsy and Laa-Laa are waving and saying “DIPSY!” and “LA-LA!” cheerfully. • Panel 3: A 19th-century man in formal clothes and a sorrowful expression says, “My child-wife is dead.” The usual cheerful sun from Teletubbies is in the background. • Panel 4: A television test pattern with vertical color bars and the message “Please stand by.”

“If you see this, post something that made you laugh!”

I love this comic so much. 🤣

Zach and I frequently say “if even ONE PERSON...” to each other whenever we talk about something being very obvious (which happens more than you may think!).
A 2 panel black and white cartoon by ReparrishComics dated 2020. Titled “Tolkien vs Lewis: Allegories” Top panel labeled TOLKIEN: a man asks, “Professor Tolkien! Is it true that you wrote your novels as an allegory for the First World War?” Tolkien responds, looking angry: “No. Never. Ask me that again and I will call the police.” Bottom panel labeled LEWIS depicts C.S. Lewis writing and looking sad and forlorn as he thinks to himself: “if even ONE person reading this does not understand that the big lion is Jesus, I will set myself on fire.”

I love this idea, but I can't help but think of Tolkien's firm denial that LOTR is a WW1 allegory (doesn't mean it couldn't be adapted)

Absolutely.
Although I can't read this without thinking of this comic:
A black and white comic by "reparrishcomics" entitled "Tolkien vs. Lewis: allegories". The first panel has a person, and JRR Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings. The person asks "Professor Tolkien! Is it true that you wrote your novels as an allegory for the First World War?" Tolkien replies, "No. Never. Ask me that again and I will call the police." The second panel has CS Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia, sitting alone. He thinks, "If even one person reading this does not understand that the big lion is Jesus, I will set myself on fire."

I mean it is pretty obvious, since Jesus just like the big lion is entierly made up 😂
