This is the story of how Joseph became Pharaoh’s 2nd in command (as retold by Peter, age 8, in 41 panels).
It seems that Joseph’s brothers were jealous of Israel’s (Jacob’s) love for him…and they decided to off their brother.
So when Israel sent Joseph to check on them (and Joseph donned his brilliant coat), it seemed like the perfect opportunity.
Most of the brothers wanted to kill him outright, but one of the brothers was hoping to save Joseph, so he suggested dumping him into a dry welln instead of killing him (figuring he’d help him back out later).
Israel was overcome with grief over the death of his son.
The brothers decided to sell Joseph to a band of travelling zombies…
…who then took him to Egypt.
Page 2:
Joseph ends up in prison, where he will soon meet the Pharaoh’s butler…
who will ask him to interpret his dream.
The butler is forgiven by Pharaoh, but forgets about Joseph until…
he remembers one day when Pharaoh is perplexed by his dream about the cows who never get fat.
Joseph wows Pharaoh with his gift of dream interpretation…
…and soon finds himself in charge of gathering resources for the coming famine.
Joseph is so well trusted by Pharaoh that he is his good friend and 2nd in command.
