Maybe I spent too much time as a youth listening to the soundtracks of My Turn on Earth and Saturday's Warrior at full volume. But whatever the reason, my hearing isn't exactly what it used to be. So when the missionaries challenged us to share the gospel, as Pres. Uchtdorf says, "in normal and natural ways" somehow I heard it as "normal unnatural ways!"

I tried to save this idea for October, but I couldn't wait. Naturally.
 

A record should be kept

Yes, the jars are labeled with the names of some of my relations. See anyone you know?

Tricks and treats

I thought I'd run a few of my old Halloween favorites today. Enjoy, and let's be safe out there!

 

Sincerely

I wanted to keep this just a little subtle, not too graphic. Eww!
 

Give this guy a hand

If this one makes you groan, just think — it was almost Igor and his Coat of Many Cadavers.
 

Parts is parts

A few years ago, I had the idea for this cartoon. I drew it, colorized it, and before I could post it, I lost the file. It became damaged and I couldn't retrieve it.

I tried to recreate it, but somehow it wasn't right. But then, just a few days ago, I remembered. So to celebrate the beginning of fall, here's the new and improved version of Igor fetching heads, shoulders, knees and toes. 

I am relieved.

 

He's the man with the monster touch

So what if you traded a James Bond villain like Goldfinger or Dr. No with Dr. Frankenstein? What would happen?
 

And now, a word of thanks.

Cartoonist Rick Kirkman of Baby Blues fame came up with an idea to have cartoonists say thank you to the front line workers today. Cartoonists were asked to include six symbols to represent the people who have been on the front lines: a mask for medical professionals, a fork for food service workers, a shopping cart for grocers, an apple for teachers, a steering wheel for those in the transportation industry, and a microscope for the scientists and researchers trying to find a cure..

At the same time I got that news, I was studying in Come, Follow Me — about Alma and the mighty change of heart. Which evolved into this. It may be more of a Halloween-themed cartoon...but its heart is in the right place!

Every body needs a helper

I've had to re-draw some of my older cartoons for a project I'm working on. This one was so old that the original was in black and white (with zip-a-tone!).

I dig it.

If you don't have skeletons in your closet, you probably have them somewhere else!

For my sweetheart

Digging up the past

It's amazing what you can dig up and find in your closet when you do family history!

Just for grins, you can see this exact same cartoon on Meridian Magazine this week!

No bones about it

I wish I could credit the idea for this to my padawan. But I can't.

These profound heaves

Seems like Igor has made a lot of appearances this year. I was expecting more zombies! There're still a few more days left until Halloween -- we'll see, we'll see.

Worker's complaints

It seems like now matter the job or the workplace, there's always going to be someone who complains about it. Our office building just went through a complete remodel -- gutted down to the bare bones and rebuilt to current standards. The old building had asbestos, lead pipes, a '50s-era electrical system. All of that was replaced with new energy efficient and environmentally sound building materials.

So as we were preparing to move in, guess what the No. 1 complaint was?

Someone looked over the new plans, counted up the number of stalls in the bathrooms, and found there was one fewer stall in each of them! How could they possibly work in such an environment?

Seriously!?

Like Rosanne Rosannadanna used to say, "It just goes to show you, if it ain't one thing, then it's another!"

Making it sustainable

I'm pretty sure Halloween cartoons are my favorites.
