Exercise the Priesthood

Hey, there's more than one way to exercise the priesthood. Although this way often leads to sprains, bruises, and hard feelings.

Transfer Call

Would you look at that phone? It's almost as if Elder Van Dyke is serving in a back world former communist country. (And that this particular strip was drawn nearly 20 years ago.)
