Downside of Deseret

Bees in barges, what could go wrong?

Today's clever gag comes from faithful reader Elder V. (Although, technically, he's not reading the blog for the next 16 months--how does one get his website approved for missionaries anyway?)

First Date, First Discussion, What's the Difference?

Poor formerly Elder Van Dyke. Those first couple of days back from a mission can be rough. Just three more of these missionary comic strips, my long-suffering audience.*

*Just joking, I doubt I even have an audience at this point.

Binging General Conference

With 196 season, there might be more General Conference content than the Simpsons (but probably not all the various Law and Order shows).

Today's gag was featured in the April For the Strength of Youth magazine.

The Mission Curse Redux

Just a month ago I wrote what I thought at the time was my final word on the "Mission Curse" running gag found in my Mission Daze strip. I forgot that I had one more. Legions, it seems, are hard to kill.

Wasn't General Conference wonderful? If you want to review everything that was covered, check out my friend Kevin Beckstrom's conference notes (Saturday AM, Saturday PM, Sunday AM, and Sunday PM). Nobody should be allowed to have this much fun in a Church meeting.

Follow the Prophet

Today's gag comes from one of my children's favorite scripture stories: that of Elisha calling on two she bears to maul 42 kids for making fun of his receding hairline.* I wrote about this story on this blog once before and, in my opinion, it might be some of the best stuff I've written on this website. Read it here.

This weekend is General Conference. These bears will follow the prophet their way, you follow it your way (and if it is any help at all, check out the Ward Cartoonist General Conference Activity Packet).

*Their other favorite scripture story is the one with the talking donkey (which we are all read in the voice of Eddie Murphy). Yeah, we're proud of the righteous generation we're raising!

Popular Culture Shock

I've been there.

Moses' Terms and Conditions

If the ten commandments are Exodus, the terms and conditions are Leviticus--you'd have to be a glutton for punishment to read that all the way through.

My favorite thing about drawing Moses: the Charlton Heston hair!
