A Run on Zeros

This one is based on a true story. I was in a stake meeting where the opening, intermediate, and closing hymns were all from the new collection. As a result, the stake was one zero short. They simply flipped one of the tiles over to be blank. And voila, another gag! And this is why you never skip a church meeting as a ward cartoonist.

Do You Believe in Miracles?

Ideally, I would have saved this gag until the end of the year during Bowl season, but for fans, there never is a wrong time to relive a sport team's greatest hits.

Burying Weapons of War

You have no doubt seen Studio C's Scott Sterling skit. And even though you've probably seen it dozens of times, you still clicked on the link above because it is never not funny. For whatever perverse reason, we find humor in other people's pain. Mel Brooks really was on to something when he said, "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."

If today's gag works at all, it is because of the universal truth expressed by Mr. Brooks.

Compelled to Testify

Is today's gag the weirdest I've ever posted on this website? I don't know, but after 16 years of coming up with jokes centered around a small niche, I'll be excused for inching into Far Side territory.*

*It's far better than another Family Circus-like gag.
