Hot off the electronic press!

I know this is something you've been clamoring for: the Kindle edition of our Disney book, The Pickletons go to Disney. It's now available on Amazon! 

Written by fellow cartoonist Ryan Stoker and illustrated by me (although I did write two of the cartoons!), the book is described thus: 

"It doesn't matter if you've been once or a hundred times. Disney parks are the most amazing, magical places to visit with your family! They can also be the most frustrating, expensive and comical experiences of your life as well!"

For your reading pleasure, you now have the choice of hard copy, electronic — or both! Get your copy today. It's almost as good as being there!

What's in a name?

According to Pres. Nelson, peculiar comes from the translation of the Hebrew word segullah. That means it could be translated as "valued property" or "treasure."

It's also possible that peculiar child could also be translated as "weird kid."
 

I'm trying to liken!

It's like that old saying, "There's a Mothers Day and and Fathers Day, why isn't there a Children's Day?"

The answer? "Every day is Children's Day!"
 

Sketchbook: Some assembly required

I can imagine Aaron standing by, watching the people making an idol. But two things irritated him. One, that they were making an idol, and two, they were doing it wrong — and that drove him nuts! He stepped in to fix it because they were messing it up. At least that's how I imagine it; I can't imagine Aaron volunteering to make a god after all the experiences he'd had with Moses.
 

But we have our permission slips!

Long walks almost every day. Hot, dry desert. Limited food and water resources. I've chaperoned field trips where the kids griped if they had to be on the bus for a whole hour! I can't imagine what it was like for Moses!

I struggled with how to describe the trip: worst? best? longest? most boring? I think I made the right choice in the end. Forty years is a long field trip!
 

Another milestone

Wow. I just reached the 6,000th post on this site! A few of them have even been funny!

Thank you for coming along on this ride. I hope there are many more to come!

*I have a tradition of running my first published cartoon when I reach significant milestones. Enjoy!

 

Some days are like that

I've seen kids fall asleep in nursery, and I've seen tired teachers, but I've never seen a kid leave sharing time who wasn't full of energy!
