Snow Angels

When I came up with this particular strip I was awfully proud of myself. It wasn't until about six months later when I was flipping through an old Pat Bagley I Spy a Nephi book that I discovered Bagley had done the gag over a decade earlier. 

This was the first time I discovered I'd independently come up with a Latter-day Saint gag someone else already did. It wouldn't be the last. While I try not to do it and will often review his archives to double check I'm not unconsciously stealing something I've seen before, I'm sure Kevin Beckstrom could point out a dozen of my gags he did first (and did better). Shoot, I've been at this so long, I'm starting to inadvertently steal from myself.
