* In ''[[Lucifer (Comic Book)|Lucifer]]'', God appears in several forms, from a being of pure light to taking the forms of others. Elaine eventually asks him to take a form she doesn't know, leading him to take on the appearance of... an old, grandfather aged British gentleman.
* God of the old ''[http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&catid=35%3Apropaganda-index&id=904%3A45-smash-pages-of-god-hitler-crucified-my-son&Itemid=24 God Comics]''. He's surprisingly badass for a guy of that age.
* The Highfather from [[New Gods]] is an archetypal [[Grandpa God]], with some [[The Obi -Wan|Obi Wan]] thrown in for good measure.
** He traded sons with the ruler of hell world for peace. So far as I am aware, he has never since acknowledged the existence of the escape artist known as 'Scott Free.'
*** Then you should keep reading, because he ''has''.
Line 97:
* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'', God's face is always obscured, and He is portrayed as being a giant. Otherwise, He very clearly represents the image of a grandfather.
** He's also not a half bad guy, even giving Homer his Frisbee back when he arrives in heaven, and agreeing to delay the Apocalypse when Homer pleads his case about loving his family more then he would enjoy heaven without them (He even Lampshades this by yelling " [[Deus Ex Machina]] " when he does it. He also told Homer that religion was more of a personal thing, which lead him to starting his own theological path in life (Although that last one might of been a dream, since its implied an act of God torched the Simpsons home when he was too big of a dick about it).
** One episode subverts this by having God appear just off-screen, and the other characters describe him as having, well, ''more'' body parts than us normal folk do. Namely, [[Four -Fingered Hands|five fingers.]] Look closely.
** Another has Him claim that omnipotence is the result of three eyes, and that a stolen eclair will go straight to His five thighs.
