Get in line, Bully
Cartoon of a boy and a bully. The boy says, “You want to bully me too? Get in line! I have three other bullies before you.”
As a child, I learned bullies aren’t creative. If one discovers you’re ripe for being picked on, others will catch on. Even in a small town with a small school, this became obvious.
My coping skill was to draw a cartoon that would amuse a bully. It usually worked, and sometimes made a friend. Unfortunately, I also learned you should never draw an unflattering cartoon of the bully you’re drawing a cartoon for. That was my first lesson in marketing.
I drew this for K! Magazine.

Broken Family
Cartoon of two boys walking. One says, “I come from a broken family. Dad broke it and Mom left it that way.”
Yes, I hate divorce. Of course, I’ve never met anyone who likes it. This was a hard topic to deal with. But one that needs to be discussed with compassion and empathy, especially in the church.

Offering Plate Games
Cartoon of a church usher and a guy with a flying disc. The usher says, “You can’t be an usher because you think offering plates are Frisbees®.
As a child, I often wondered what it would be like if the ushers tossed offering plates across the congregation like they were at a Frisbee® competition. It would put some excitement in the air, and depending on the song used during the offertory, it could be quite a show!
I drew this for the April edition of the Church of God E-Newsletter.
