The 2022 Top Ten, part 1

Here we go with the countdown, starting with...

No. 10: When it's a counting month, a good ward clerk will leave no stone unturned!



No, 9: What better combination than fusing the Great British Bake Off and missionary meals? And, yes, all of these made it to my plate at some time over the course of my mission.



No. 8: What girl could say no to a dozen camels?



No. 7: Our ward held a dinner and auction to raise funds for youth camps and EFY. One of my contributions was for the winner to be included in a cartoon. This also ran in Meridian Magazine, much to the delight of the family!



No. 6: This was based on a real experience of one of my friends. It really happened.


Tomorrow: the rest of the Top Ten. Let's be safe out there!

The 2022 Countdown: Runners Up

This hovers in that no man's land (pardon the pun) between sketchbook and cartoon. It'll get there eventually.



Change is difficult, isn't it?



Alternate title: "If you a prepared, ye shall not fear." Every area has places that are best avoided at night!


If you have siblings, you know how this works.

When the Lord gives us commandments, he often gives us warnings associated with those commandments. Best heed this one!



Seriously, how do you misplace an entire city?



One highlight of my summer was visiting my friend and fellow cartoonist Arie Van De Graaff. Give us enough time together and we could definitely crank out a plethora of lame jokes!


Tomorrow we start the official Top Ten Countdown. Please join us!

The 2022 Top Ten: Best of the Sketchbook, part 2

 Here's the rest of the best of the 2022 Sketchbook!

No. 5: Our world comes to a screeching halt of the Wi-Fi goes out. Glad that Job didn't have to endure that hardship!



No. 4: When I originally thought of creating cartoons to correspond with our Come, Follow Me lessons, this is one of the first ideas that leapt to mind.



No. 3: I think we all owe Pres. Nelson a debt of gratitude for tying BYU sports to spiritual growth. In a good way.



No. 2: You can improve attendance numbers through fellowshipping and reactivation. Or you can purge the records. Either way.



No. 1: It's a matter of degree.


Tomorrow we take a look at the runners-up from the year before we move into the Top Ten!

The 2022 Top Ten: Best of the Sketchbook, part 1

It's the beginning of the year-end countdown! Let's start with the Top Ten from the Sketchbook. Today we bring you the first five.

No. 10: It's often a good contacting technique to tie into a holiday or local event. This ran on Valentine's Day.


No. 9: Learning the name of your investigator can go a long way in getting teaching opportunities!


No. 8: It becomes air traffic control when she's on her broom.


No. 7: It's a good thing that Pharaoh relented. Next was a plague of Karens.


No. 6: Sometimes the stars line up and make it easy to write a lame gag!
