Back to School

Here's a gag the New Era published several years ago. It was the first gag I submitted to them that wasn't LDS specific. Since then, I've submitted a handful of other secular jokes. But whenever possible I always try to add something in the picture that ties it into the Church. Usually, it's a picture of the temple or a BYU pennant.

This time I had the foresight to include a photograph of David Archuleta inside the girl's locker. Pretty remarkable when you consider that this gag was published some two years before Archuleta competed in American Idol.

  1. David Archuletta huh? I thought that was a picture of Edward Cullen.

  2. Edward Cullen, yuck! She's "Team Jacob" all the way.

  3. This time I definitely laughed more at your commentary than the comic itself! I think the set of hot rollers is a good enough LDS indicator. I never knew anyone my age who used them regularly until I went to BYU...

  4. From what I can tell, there are three pictures in her locker - one of David Archuletta, one of Jacob, and the one only partially showing - which is definitely a picture of The Jonas Brothers.

  5. I'm sure the David Archuleta thing (and the subsequent comments) would be really funny if I had any idea who these people are. The last time I saw the inside of a school locker it was adorned with pictures of David Cassidy and Farrah Fawcett.
