Cleaning Check

Asking a couple of teenage boys to keep a clean apartment is a pretty big ask.

Missionary Attire

Today's gag marks the third week in a row that I've posted about a change in the Church. I'm not expecting to run one next week, but seven days is plenty of time for President Nelson to make another announcement.

Mission Pay

Missionary service really is something, isn't it?

Two-Hour Church

With the upcoming move to a two-hour block, we'll be sacrificing ten minutes of sacrament meeting. I've been thinking about the impact this is going to have on sacrament meeting speakers. They are either going to have to cut down their talks or just speak that much faster.

Let's resolve in 2019 to all speak a little bit more like this guy.

Priorities

When I first came up with this strip many, many years ago, Gilligan's Island was the perfect TV show to represent the kind of low-stakes television that an investigator might struggle to give up in order to hear the message of the gospel. Since then, though, Gilligan's Island is no longer in our collective consciousness (it is, after all, over 50 years old now). There has got to be an old TV show that better fits this strip today: Saved By the Bell? Fresh Prince of Bell Air? Friends?

Church's Next Move

2018 really has been a year full of change within the Church. It makes me excited for 2019 and President Nelson's second year of his service as prophet. Like he said in an interview at the end of October, "Wait till next year, and then the next year. Eat your vitamin pills. Get some rest. It's going to be exciting."

More Mission Curse

While today's strip is about as far away from a Christmas message as they come, I'd still like to wish all of you a very merry Christmas.
