Reset Button

If missionaries could reset every day that played out like this, there would be a lot of do-overs. My mission, for example, would have turned into the LDS version of Groundhog Day.

Noah's Ark

Noah's ark is one of those classic cliches that nearly every gag cartoonist has used. Here's my contribution to the genre.

The Plural Form of Book of Mormon

And this is why it's Books of Mormon not Book of Mormons...

Check Out This Month's New Era

So today's gag is one of those "parents are so old" gags.* But it's not the gag that I want to discuss today, instead it's the cover of this month's New Era (within which the gag is featured) that I'd draw your attention to. Check out the similarities between the actual cover and the cartoon cover I depicted in my gag.
Cool, right? I've got to believe that the New Era saved this particular comic until they had a cover story featuring a young woman with a horse (they've had the gag for nearly two years).

The implications of this are staggering. This means that the young man in my joke is reading the very issue of the New Era that he appears in. Just wait until he turns to the "Extra Smile" page of the magazine. His mind will totally be blown!

*Publication of the New Era began January of 1971. Prior to that, the magazine for youth in the Church was The Improvement Era. So in order for the father in this gag to have read from a different periodical while a young man, he'd have to be nearing his sixties at the youngest. (Thanks, wikipedia.)

Which Church is This, Exactly?

Boy Scout First Aid

You know, I think I might trust a troop of overzealous Boy Scouts to perform first aid on me. At the very least they wouldn't miss anything.

Provided, of course, that no tourniquets are involved.

Teaching in the Park

As a missionary, I spent more time visiting with drunks, the homeless, and their ilk; than I ever have before or since. Those folks are drawn to missionaries probably because as a whole missionaries treat them better than most any segment of the population.

Although, sometimes missionaries can abuse their trust...

Early Fast

Broccoli, in my opinion, gets an unfair rap. The same goes for spinach. They're both delicious and nutritious vegetables. Clam chowder, on the other hand...
