context_page_description: Jeff Stilwell is a humanist thinker, author and illustrator.
context_section_description: Stilwell's first cartoon character "Bosatsu" was featured in My Edmonds News in 2013. Stilwell soon made some changes, saying, "My character threatened to walk out of the strip if he didn’t get a name change. Something less abstruse and more fun. So, I caved. As of today, “bosatsu” is set aside in favor of “thrashin’ jack”. (He’s also demanding lighter, sillier content. And, he wants more than one t-shirt to wear. We’ll see…)"  
  Thrashin' Jack was later featured in Stilwell's humanist work Here and Now: A Whimsical Take on God. Radio personality Sam Mulvey featured Stilwell on his program Ask An Atheist, saying that Here and Now is "A really neat book...It's got really nice art...It tells a really good story..."  Critic Dave Brouillette writes of Here and Now: "While the elementary level language and comic-strip style artwork makes it easy to miss the complex ideas just under the surface, there are deep currents hiding beneath what at first glance seems like a very shallow experience."
