RefToons
Greetings! I'm Paul Cox, cartoonist and illustrator behind RefToons. In 2017 out of a desire to share the old dead theologians I had been learning from with others who may not know about them, I started illustrating comic strips based on quotes from these faithful preachers in hopes to build up the body of Christ through voices of the past.
Theologians that I commonly feature include:
CHARLES SPURGEON
JC RYLE
JOHN BUNYAN
MARTIN LUTHER
RC SPROUL
THOMAS WATSON
SAMUEL RUTHERFORD
AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO
JEREMIAH BURROUGHS
JOHN CALVIN
JOHN OWEN
AMY CARMICHAEL
ARGULA VON GRUMBACH
FANNY CROSBY K CHESTERTON
OCTAVIOUS WINSLOW
CHARLES WESLEY
... and many more!

Excerpt from Practical Religion, by J.C. Ryle:
It was a weighty saying of some wise man, that "hell is truth known too late." I fear that thousands of those who profess to be Christians in this day will find this out by experience. They will discover the value of their souls when it is too late to obtain mercy, and see the beauty of the Gospel when they can derive no benefit from it. Oh, that men would be wise early in life! I often think there are few passages of Scripture more awful than that in the first chapter of Proverbs,
“But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you-- when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me. Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD, since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.” (Proverbs 1:24-31)

"All men ought to think of Christ, because of the office Christ fills between God and man. He is the eternal Son of God, through whom alone the Father can be known, approached, and served. He is the appointed Mediator between God and man, through whom alone we can be reconciled with God, pardoned, justified and saved." - J.C. Ryle, from "A Christmas Question"
