A foot or two

The shoes often tell the tale of the missionary.
 

This spake the prophet

I can kind of see where they were coming from on this one.
 

He walks, he talks, he calls you to repentance

The Old Testament Toy Kids are back! If there's not one already, someone really should start a line of these things. There's a mint to be made!
 

Ears that are ready to hear

I would guess that Isaiah would have trouble with President Uchtdorf's talks — trying to figure out how the gospel is like an airplane, or what a Hobbit going on an adventure was all about!
 

Bind up the testimony

It’s been a couple of weeks in Isaiah for
 Come, Follow Me. I hope you’re not feeling like Laman and Lemuel yet!

Writing 101

In addition to being quoted by the Savior extensively, Isaiah's writings are interwoven throughout scripture. He was a particular favorite of Nephi and Jacob in the Book of Mormon. Not only that, but many of his turns of phrase are still in use today.

How would you like to be in charge of grading his homework?
 

See you at the top!

Either way, it can take a lot of work to get there!
 

I've tried scrubbing it out

Some of those spots need a little more work than others!
 

Gettin' schooled

I always liked this one from Zarahemla Times that refers to learning about Isaiah. Anybody else up for taking this class?
 

Let’s clutter this up for you

In preparation for studying Isaiah, I scanned through some of my old Isaiah cartoons. This one originally ran a couple of years ago. I think many of us can relate to the look on his wife’s face!

Teaching by the spirit

Are you ready? Five straight weeks of Isaiah in Come, Follow Me! 

When I taught Sunday school, I both dreaded and looked forward to teaching Isaiah. Dreaded because people either (a) freak out, or (b) figure they know it all. I looked forward to it because it's all kinds of cool and approachable on so many levels.

One thing I like is how he often writes in poetic form and repeats ideas. For example in Isa. 1:18 "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow" followed by "though they are red as crimson, they shall become like wool." It says the same thing, just in a different way. If you don't get it in one verse, don't panic! If you read the next verse or two, he'll probably say the same thing.

OK, you came here for the cartoon, not the Sunday school lesson. But if your family is like ours, we're getting way more out of our scripture study this time around than we did before Come, Follow Me. Enjoy these lessons — it'll be fun!
 

Light the World: Jesus is the Light of the World

Merry Christmas!

Who's ready for a story?

Strange as it may seem, there are some folks who don't enjoy the Isaiah chapters in the Book of Mormon!

Give ear all ye of far countries

Ah, Isaiah. He always keeps things interesting. 

Light the World: The Light and the Life

Merry Christmas!

Sketchbook: Shine on!

Is your Sunday school class in Isaiah too? A lot of people think it's challenging to study Isaiah, how his writings can be understood on multiple levels across multiple dispensations.

It's even more challenging when you're a cartoonist, not only trying to understand what he's saying, but fighting that niggling part of your brain that says, "Yeah, but how can I make a joke out of this?" 

Feeling Tempest-tossed

We just had Talk Like a Pirate Day; we have Talk Like Shakespeare Day. Why don't we have a Talk Like Isaiah Day?

Making promises

Eyes of understanding

One bit at a time, right?

Prophecy fulfilled? Check!

These verses always seem to come to my mind during prom season.
