Explanation
This comic shows a child gleefully pointing at Jesus and exclaiming "Ha! Got you! You're drinking your own blood!" Jesus is shown doing a spit-take in response. The caption reads "Jesus no longer loves the little children."
The joke references the Christian doctrine of transubstantiation, in which communion wine is believed to become the literal blood of Christ. The child applies this theological concept with innocent, literal-minded logic: if the wine really is Jesus's blood, then Jesus himself drinking wine means he is drinking his own blood. The spit-take and the caption about Jesus no longer loving children humorously suggest that even Jesus is disturbed when the logical implications of this doctrine are pointed out so bluntly by a kid.
