Bad, Bad Hair

Some people have bad hair days. Others take it to an extreme sport. Whenever I read a Doctor Seuss book, I think of the poor people who have manes that go beyond manageable. Are there any stylists in Whoville?

Whenever I think of this term, I also think of two projects. First, there is Weird Al Yankovic’s 1996 album. Since I drew this cartoon, The Disney Channel also produced a film by that name.

As a guy, the older I get, the more thankful I am to have any of the stuff on top. To me, the only bad hair day is one with no locks.

Too Young, Too Old

I remember when it was the generation or two before me that said, “Just wait until you’re my age!” Now that I am that age, I still wonder what they were talking about.

Making Lemonade

Bowl of lemons

If life hands us lemons, we can get good at making lemonade. And if you start a lemonade stand, provide good customer service, right? That said, I have seen great customer service representatives take a trying situation and make the best of it. That can be tough when circumstances out of their control bring angry customers into their lives.

Are you tired of making the best of a situation? I suppose we can try what Stephen Lyons suggested in the Chicago Tribune and suck on some misery. But beware of taking satire as gospel truth! One thing he makes clear in his commentary is if we think things are bad now, we could always find ways to make things worse. Conversely, the opposite must be true: we can always find ways to improve our situation.

Safety is the Best Policy

When I first drew this cartoon, I was concerned mainly with safety in children’s ministry. I had no idea a few years later I would be managing at a printing facility. Since then, I have truly learned safety is the best policy.

Safety at Work

Before then, I didn’t think too much about workplace safety. I had been in office settings. When I visited warehouses and printing facilities, I let the host worry about safety. I see now how foolish that was. For there are hazards even in an office environment.

To the Children’s Ministry Workers Enduring Daylight Saving Time, We Salute You!

Cartoon of a bank teller and a boy. The teller says, "I'm sorry. You can't make withdrawals on your Daylight Savings Time account."

I agree if you think springing forward is hard. This morning, I witnessed the sun coming up one hour later. Everything was dark until 8:00 AM. This shouldn’t happen on a Sunday! It’s hard enough for children’s ministry workers to make it out the door on a regular day, let alone one that has had an hour stolen from it. Daylight Savings Time and children’s ministry do not mix well.
