-- Wine"bib`bing, n.
[1913 Webster]
Winebibber was a satirical Christian
comic
book produced in the late 1980s and early
1990s by Mike
Brooks and Mike Stonelake. It was styled on the popular Viz comic of
the time and takes its name from the description of Jesus found in two
Gospels in
the Bible:
"The Son of man came eating and drinking, and
they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of
publicans and sinners." -- Matthew 11:19.
"The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and
ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of
publicans and sinners!" -- Luke 7:34.
