Language Troubles

I remember as a young missionary feeling like I would never learn the Slovene language, I also remember being a seasoned missionary struggling to recall a time when I couldn't speak the language. (And now, I don't remember pretty much any Slovene at all...)

What a Nimrod!

The scriptures describe Nimrod as a "mighty hunter."* I wonder how he feels knowing that his name is now associated with a certain kind of loser--I also wonder how mighty hunters feel.

*Genesis 10:8-9, Ether 2:1.

Missionary Haircut 5

Last week I said that I wouldn't be running anymore strips about Elder Van Dyke's haircut. Apparently, I lied. I found one more and realized that if I didn't run it now, I never would. Sorry, here you go...

(Here is this week's strip published in deseretnews.com)

Thousand Year Fast

When I think of time as measured by God, I much prefer Alma 40:8 which states that "time is only measured unto men" as opposed to 2 Peter 3:8 which tells us "that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years." (Of course, Peter's reckoning of cosmic time is the one that works for today's gag, so whatever.)

Missionary Haircut 4

I'm concluding my series of missionary haircut strips today (even though--believe it or not--I've got more, you can see two of them here and here). Next week, Elder Van Dyke will once again have a full head of hair.

(If you can't wait to see an Elder Van Dyke with hair, you can always view the latest strip from deseretnews.com.)

The Tin Rule?

I'm not much of an Olympics guy, so this is the closest thing to an Olympic-themed comic you'll get this year from me.*

*The gag mentions a gold, silver, and bronze rule--a real stretch, I know.

Missionary Haircut 3

Sadly, I'm at the age where what seemed like a ridiculous idea as a missionary now seems like a viable hairstyling idea.
