Sketchbook: Family history through the ages

Family history has been around since, well — since the invention of families! Look at all the begats in the Old Testament alone! It's interesting to see, though, how family history has adapted to and adopted new technology as it's become available. It's become easier than ever to do research, and — dare I say it? — more fun as well!

It's not about speed

This is probably a week early for most of us, but just so we can be prepared...

Happy day, all is well

I don't know about you, but it seems to me that there's all sorts of stories about pioneers and trek experiences in the news lately. Whether it's Pres. Nelson addressing the Saints in Africa, or promotional materials about the new movie, pioneers seem to be everywhere — and it's not even July!

Here are a couple of my favorite pioneer/trek-themed cartoons. Enjoy, and let's be careful out there!

It's in the stars

Today is transfer day for our missionaries! In honor of that, here are a couple of cartoons that were written for some specific missionaries, although not particularly about missionary work.

Sketchbook: As seen from the back pews

Some of my best ideas come from quietly observing what goes on during church. Sometimes it's hard not to laugh out loud at inopportune times!

Teancum times two

Poor Teancum. He gets more jokes about him than you can shake a stick at.

Sketchbook: Reviewing Conference

Here are a couple of sketchbooks that I kind of like. In fact, one day they may evolve to full-fledged cartoons. Put them together, and they make up our Gospel Doctrine lesson from Sunday school yesterday: a Jeopardy-style review of conference blended with the story of Joseph being sold into Egypt. Only our "Sunday school answers" had to be in the form of a question!

Home teaching? It is no more!

We're starting our 10 year look back with a couple of cartoons that have just become obsolete. I figured I should run them now before we've forgotten what home teaching is all about!
