I drew over 500 of these missionary comic strips and the only times you see Elder Van Dyke wearing a watch is in the strips where he needs to check it to indicate that his companion is late. It's awfully convenient that on the days he'd need it, he'd put on his watch.Ten years ago when I drew these strips, missionaries had to wear watches to make sure they were always on schedule. Now days, I imagine they do what the rest of us do: forgo a watch and just check their cell phones.
I love the dripping water coming off of his shirt as he walks out the door. I think our son has walked into church looking the same way once or twice. Spray bottles are often easier (and safer) than irons. Funny!
