Christmas Morning

I realize that Christmas is over, but we can have Christmas in our heart year round, right?

Anyway, today's gag wraps up my second year running this blog. Thanks to all of you who've shared your feedback through the comment section and even to those of you who haven't. As fun as this blog is for me, I wouldn't be doing it without your support.

Tracting with the Right Attitude

Tales from the North Pole First Ward

After receiving a deluge of requests to do more North Pole First Ward comics, I drew today's gag. (Yes, two comments constitutes a deluge on this blog--kind of pathetic, isn't it?) And with all the ideas Jon gave me, I should be able to return to the North Pole First Ward year after year.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Christmas Care Packages Part 3

Mystery solved!

Santa at Tithing Settlement

How does Santa fund his operation? He has a staff of thousands (if not tens of thousands) of elves for which he has to provide substance and lodging, he produces billions of toys a year which he has to obtain the base materials for and then store somewhere, and he has to generate enough energy to travel at near light speed for one night a year to deliver all those toys.

Anyway, these are the types of questions that lead to a comic like today's. Assuming Santa is telling the truth, and we have no reason to doubt him, his only income appears to be the milk and cookies he receives at Christmas. Making tithing settlement in the North Pole First Ward an awkward event.

Christmas Care Packages Part 2

Last week we got a glimpse of Elder Austin's giant care package, today we find out who it's from, and next week we'll find out just what is inside. The suspense, I'm sure, is killing you (which is appropriate because that's very much what Christmas feels like to little kids).

What Not to Say

Today's gag is the latest in a series I like to call "Things Not to Say over the Pulpit." It's a pretty good series mainly because there are so many things that you shouldn't say when addressing a congregation.

(In fact, it's such a rich source of humor that another Mormon cartoonist has created an entire blog based off of the theme--although, sadly, he hasn't updated it in over six months.)

Christmas Care Packages

Possibly the only thing better than getting a Christmas care package from home as a missionary is getting a Christmas care package from home that's bigger than your companion's.

If Only Food Storage Was This Good

I don't have much to add to today's comic except to point out that I would totally be into Dry-pack Pizza and that this gag comes from the criminally inexpensive Mormon Life, now on sale for $4.99--a perfect gift for everyone on your Christmas list.
