How I envy him!

Cartoon of a dirty, smelly boy. Caption reads: "He never takes a bath, eats a candy bar for breakfast and belches the alphabet in one, giant burp. Man I wish I was like him!"

Isn’t it interesting how boys get jealous of those without manners or good personal hygiene? He’s disgusting: how I envy him!

There is such as thing as “boy funk.” Some kids, like adults, must make an extra effort at good hygiene. When I was growing up, the number one role model for kids going through this issue was Pig Pen from the Peanuts comic strip. Yes, that’s most likely where I got the inspiration to draw this cartoon.

Spiritual Desert

Cartoon of a man lost in a desert looking parched. The Caption reads, "Devotions! Devotions!"

Do you ever feel like you are lost in a spiritual desert? Sure you do! We all face times that feel like we are lost in a dry, parched land. We all have times when we:

  • Get a bad diagnosis
  • Wonder if this is all there is to life
  • Suffer a relationship breakup
  • Get caught up in bad news, whether personal or through the media

Official T-shirts

Cartoon of two happy, proud men. One has a shirt that says, "Disciple #7. The other has "Disciple #3" on his shirt. The caption reads, "The disciples felt special when they received their official t-shirts."

When I drew this, I was thinking how great it would have been to be Jesus’ disciple and get official t-shirts. Did they know they were part of something really big?

How do You Handle Cell Phones in Church?

I remember the first time I saw someone have their mobile phone out at a church service. A teen was playing a game in the middle of the sermon. Since then, mobile phones have invaded every aspect of life. How do you handle cell phones in church?

That question inspired my cartoon for this month. This pastor has had enough of divided attention in his pews. Practically, the pastor’s idea isn’t going to work. Alas, it’s illegal to jam cell phone signals in the United States.

Cartoon of a pastor and janitor. The pastor says, "I need people really listening to the sermon. Look into jamming cell phone signals!" How do you handle cell phones in church?

Thankful Heart

Cartoon of a mom and son. The boy says, "I'll give thanks, but must I give thanks with a grateful heart?" thankful heart

It’s the day Americans choose to celebrate with turkey, canned cranberry sauce, and football. Yes! It’s the day we decide to have a thankful heart. At least, that’s the idea.

However, that can be a challenge when you have an ungrateful relative. Maybe they had a challenging year. Or perhaps that has been their demeanor since you’ve known them. Regardless, one dour soul can bring down the whole group.
