Fireworks

From the Disney collection, if for no other reason than it has some pretty good fireworks that I made in Illustrator.

The show

Elijah and the priests of Baal is one of the most awesome stories in the Old Testament. I love his trash talking, and when the time comes for his turn, he totally crushes it!*

For those who may argue that the real original fireworks show was Sodom and Gomorrah, I would point out that there wasn't anyone who actually watched that. Except for Lot's wife. And she wasn't a big fan. In fact, she was kind of salty about it.

*It may also be argued that this was the first example of a fireside. The jury is still out on that one.
 

Small voices

Sometimes Primary is the most spiritual when it's the loudest.

There's got to be some way to keep track of who's nice to the missionaries!
 

What?! A caption contest?!

Hey! It's been a few minutes since we've run a caption contest. After I drew this, I didn't think the caption I had was very good. But as long as I have the drawing, I might as well throw this out to the greater mind of you, brilliant reader!

Drop a caption suggestion in the comments, message or email me, tell me to my face — whatever works for you.

There's a prize for the winning suggestion, so enter early and often!

This guy's had to put up with a lot. I hope he gets better than minimum wage.
