Babel's Building Material

Sadly, were about nine months too late in our Come, Follow Me study for this one (or, if you're an optimist, three years and three months too early).

Left Hand/Right Hand

At least she took something from scripture study.

Ammon's Mission Call

This might not be exactly how it went down.

The Brother of Jared's Bright Idea

The world wasn't ready...

Pearls Before Swine

The pig who is secretly a world-class jeweler sounds like the Angel Studios knock of of Ratatouille.

Moses' Top Ten

It's a good thing Moses wasn't litigious, otherwise, he would have sued David Letterman right off of late night television. Speaking of Mr. Letterman, have you seen him lately? He's really rocking the Old Testament Prophet look. 

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?)

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!

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!

Wrestling isn't Real??

This boy is far too young to know that profession wrestling isn't real. His Dad is probably one of those guys who doesn't bother with Santa Claus either.

We're a couple of weeks early when it comes to Come, Follow Me, but stump your gospel doctrine instructor with this question.

Noah's Deadline

Knowing what we know about Noah's sons, this totally seems plausible.

Once and For All

Is Pay-per-view still a thing? Because I would totally pay-per-view to watch this match. 

Dumb Curelom!

Potty humor always works!

Breaking the Word of Wisdom

Prophetic Beard

Let me say this about Prophets and beards: I am so grateful for David O. McKay for ending the whole beard thing in this dispensation. Just try to imagine President Nelson, President Monson, or President Hinckley with facial hair. 

Burying Weapons of War

You have no doubt seen Studio C's Scott Sterling skit. And even though you've probably seen it dozens of times, you still clicked on the link above because it is never not funny. For whatever perverse reason, we find humor in other people's pain. Mel Brooks really was on to something when he said, "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."

If today's gag works at all, it is because of the universal truth expressed by Mr. Brooks.

Run and Not Be Weary

If these guys are part of BYU's national championship cross country team then apparently the promise lasts for 3 miles at least. If, on the other hand, they are 50 some odd overweight cartoonists, then the promise lasts considerably less.

Gardening Help

Every year we plant a handful of tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and squash in our backyard garden. I've got a drip line set up throughout the garden and weed block to prevent anything else from growing. Then I forget about it for three months until I'm can start enjoying the fruits of our labors.* Today's gag might be inspired by my lack of ability to grow anything without all sorts of modern gardening help.

*Vegetables of our labors?

Captain Moroni's Coat

Today's very funny gag comes from faithful reader Spencer V.

Samson's Rock, Paper, Scissors

By my count, this is the fourth Samson gag I've done on this website and the second rock, paper, scissors gag I've done. Yeah, I've been at this for a while!
