I think we can all agree that Ammon is awesome. Although, I imagine it would be hard to listen to a religious message with an open heart and mind from a missionary who chopped off your arm. (Incidentally, I drew the eyes of the would-be sheep thief extra buggy on purpose. If you met a sword wielding missionary as awesome as Ammon, you'd go all Marty Feldman too.)On a completely different topic, my cartoons are now featured in yet another location of the web. Meridian Magazine, the online LDS web magazine, runs a gag of mine every Tuesday.

I have a companion who tried a similar approach, but he used his knuckles. It was less effective -- you can't teach an investigator who isn't conscious!
ReplyDeleteLove the nod to Friberg - the muscles!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Arie! Will the cartoon featured in the magazine be the same as the ones here?
ReplyDeleteI was definitely going for a Arnold Friberg vibe here, glad you appreciated it, Mormon Hermit Mom.
ReplyDeleteJena, the cartoons for Meridian will be taken from gags already posted here. Think of them as reruns. You can go there to see other Mormon Cartoonists' work too, including friend of the blog Kevin Beckstrom's.
Congratulations on the wider dispersion of your stuff! If you're thinking about expanding your readership to other magazines you might consider submitting this week's post to "Muscle and Fitness."
ReplyDeleteYou missed a great opportunity to add some gore into your gags. Those little droplets of water off the robber's heel could have been blood dripping off his severed arm...
ReplyDeleteKelsey, I've got to keep this a G-Rated blog. Wait for the unrated director's cut (pun intended) to be included in the special edition DVD release.
ReplyDeleteMy brother carried a machete through some of his mission - I guess sword-wielding missionaries can find success even today. (Although my brother doesn't even come close to having the physique of your Ammon.)
