Santa's Talk Opening

If Santa had to open a sacrament meeting talk with a cliche, I would hope it would be this one.

Rein-Dear John

Merry Christmas to everyone (including missionaries serving from the North Pole 1st Ward).

Sub for Santa

Sub for Santa means something a little different when you know him personally.

Special Delivery

Man, that Brother Claus sure does come in handy, doesn't he. Not only has he proven apt as a home teacher, he also would make the world's best ward mission leader! Today's gag is featured in the December issue of the New Era.

Santa Claus: Naughty or Nice

Look at the calendar, it's time to publish some Christmas-themed gags! Today's comes from faithful reader Jon F.

Nursery of Misfit Toys

If there has ever been a place for misfit toys, it's an LDS nursery.

Later today, I'll be posting another Christmas carol, so please check back!

Santa's Primary Class

Staffing the primary in the North Pole 1st ward has got to be a breeze. Santa can handle the most unruly of classes and sharing time is always well behaved thanks to the specially called elf on the shelf.

North Pole 1st Ward Basketball Team

Last April, I swore off ward basketball jokes. This after I had produced over a dozen of them for my March Madness series of gags. I guess old habits are hard to break.

Santa Claus: Home Teacher Extraordinaire!

I've given Santa Claus grief on this blog before for his tithing and his tendency to abuse his Elders Quorum, so let me give credit where it's due: The guy is a Home Teacher super star! Shoot, not only can his ward count 100 percent home teaching for the month of December based on his efforts, but every ward in the world should be able to do the same!

Santa's Sleigh

Once again I return to the North Pole 1st Ward. These gags practically write themselves. (Especially when you've got faithful readers like Jon F. providing ideas for them.)

If you're interested in more LDS Christmas comics, check out my Mormon Cartoonist friend Kevin Beckstrom's blog, he's got everything from Christmas zombies to Frosty the Snowman's final moment to an illustration of 3 Nephi chapter 1. As with pretty much every holiday, he's got Christmas pretty much covered.

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!

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.
