A banner year

It's back to school time here! Many schools have already started classes, others will start in the next few weeks. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to look back at some school-related cartoons from (my) history.

Liberty

 I know I’ve run this before, but it bears repeating. 

In memory

Is it back to school where you are?
 

Learning wisdom in his youth

Great leaders get often show promise at an early age.
 

Sketchbook: Captain Moroni

One of the most popular people in the Book of Mormon is Captain Moroni. He is perhaps best known for his creation of the Title of Liberty, a standard to which the Nephites could rally. Because he wrote the Title of Liberty on his cloak, it's a popular theme in Mormon cartoons. Mine, anyway!

An early start

Liberty in their hearts

If that isn't inspirational, I don't know what is!

Top of the Others

You may know that I run a couple of other cartoon blogs: Sis. Kerry Jo's Mission Blog; Good Heavens, and Zarahemla Times. Here are the top three for each of those.

Sis. Kerry Jo
Even though Sis. Kerry Jo is home now, she still posts occasionally. Some posts are about present-day goings on, some are mission flashbacks. One series this year was about a country-wide mission reunion (that's the national anthem in the middle panels).

Good Heavens
It was a rough year for Good Heavens. There got to be so many disasters, deaths and depressing topics that I had to take a breather for a while. Two of the top favorites, though, were ripped from the headlines: David Bowie and Alan Rickman both passed away within a week of each other, and the response to the Orlando nightclub shooting struck a chord.

Zarahemla Times
It's a long story with many moving parts, but Zarahemla Times has mostly been in reruns this year. Nevertheless, here are the top three from ZT.

What say ye?

Alma exhorted us to remember the captivity of our fathers, both in a temporal and spiritual sense. It's good to remember what Liberty is all about.

Sketchbook: What's in a title?

About this time every year, I get to thinking about Captain Moroni's Title of Liberty. Based on several of the addresses from April's session of General Conference, this seemed appropriate.

Pinned and shared!

Behind every great man is a great woman, they say. Cap'n Moroni had to get his inspiration from somewhere, didn't he?

Rent-a-coat?

The story of Captain Moroni is an inspiring one. He was a brilliant strategist and didn't leave much to chance. So it stands to reason that before he hoisted the Title of Liberty throughout the land, he made sure it said what he wanted it to mean.
