A tremor in the Force

This is what happens when you do a Star Wars marathon while in lock down.

Total recall

Most of the missionaries from our area have received their temporary assignments and are excited to be heading back out!

One bite at a time

There are definitely going to be some gaps in my food storage that will need to be refilled once this whole COVID-19 thing is over. I know I haven't stored nearly enough Reese's Pieces, and the five jars of salsa didn't last nearly as long as I hoped they would. I won't even mention the ice cream situation!

One with everything

There was one week early in our lockdown where a "varied diet" meant that we ordered from a different pizza place every night. Somebody has to keep them in business, right?

By their masks ye shall know them

A member of our ward popped up in my Facebook feed as a friend suggestion the other day. I looked and looked, and I thought: "I used to go to church with their family, but I haven't seen any of them for a long time!"

And then I remembered that I haven't seen anybody — in person — for a long time. Weird.

Sketchbook: Stand back

The scriptures can indeed be likened unto us. Nephi and Abinadi both told people to stay away and not touch them. And when Abinadi returned "in disguise," was he wearing...a mask?

Stay healthy!

Burdens to be borne

OK, I think I have officially set a new record for the longest caption for a cartoon anywhere!

Sometimes it seems like we enjoy comparing trials and hardships. It really doesn't make any sense. We're much better off using our energy to count our blessings!

I know this particular gag is a variation on jokes that have been going around on social media, and it would have been more timely a couple of weeks ago (although we're far from out of the woods with COVID-19 yet). But it begs the question: just how much did we know before coming to this point in time?

One last thing. There are a couple of cameos in this cartoon. Can you spot them all?
