Calling and Election Made Sure

And now for a different type of scary....

In the United States, Election Day is a mere five days away. The Church is very interested in members participating in the political process and has been very clear that "Principles compatible with the gospel may be found in various political parties and candidates."*

I believe that whole-heartily.

I also believe there can be some scary political monsters from every political party who would act in very much the same way as the politician in today's gag.

*From a letter from the First Presidency which should have been read in every Sacrament Meeting in the United States the past couple of weeks dated October 9, 2014.

I Can See Clearly Now

Managing the Press

In some ways missionary work hasn't changed much since the days of Paul. But in other ways, things have changed a ton since I wore the badge a mere 16 years ago. Here's yet another comic which may or may not apply to today's missionary. Does anyone know if missionaries today write their weekly letters to the Mission President on paper or if they email it to him?

I feel so old.

On the Campaign Trail

It's my understanding that the Church no longer uses the term "splits," but that the vernacular is now "exchanges." Can anyone verify this?

Disturbing Insight

Until I get bored of it, I'm going to continue running strips dealing with Elder Blank's ambition to be called as an Assistant to the President.

Even More Election Day Coverage

Here's a gag to correspond with Election Day. I'm sure there's a David Archuleta joke in here somewhere, but I'm too lazy to find it.

What's Scarier Than Halloween?

Yesterday was Halloween and tomorrow is the Day of the Dead throughout much of the world and Election Day here in the United States. Talk about a trifecta of terror!

My missionary cartoons feature a companion of Elder Van Dyke who is angling to become the Assistant to the President. I always liked drawing strips featuring Elder Blank's schemes to get appointed to that position, because it allowed me to gently satire politicians. I guess you could say there's a little political cartoonist in me.

A Topical Post

So Tuesday was Election Day, right? That makes this post just two days late! I might have a career as a political cartoonist yet.
