Moses' Terms and Conditions
If the ten commandments are Exodus, the terms and conditions are Leviticus--you'd have to be a glutton for punishment to read that all the way through.
My favorite thing about drawing Moses: the Charlton Heston hair!

Your April 2026 General Conference Activity Packet
Leprechauns would make the worst missionaries.
General Conference is just around the corner. It should be a special one. Time to download and print your Ward Cartoonist General Conference Activity Packet! It's available in English, Spanish (thanks, Gaby!), and Portuguese (thanks, Dani).
If the conference packet isn't enough to sate your appetite for Church-themed activities to entertain your young (or young at heart), Let me direct you to an assortment of my books:
For those of you uninterested in print, check out my apps (iOS only, sorry!). Your kids will love LDS Scripture Heroes or Book of Mormon Adventure available at the Apple App Store.
Finally, I should mention Mission Daze, my collection of nearly 500 comic strips tracking a missionary from mission call to homecoming. It's a great gift for any missionary.

Off the Airplane
This type of situation was much more likely in the days before weekly video chats with missionaries. Good news, though, with just a handful of these strips left, this might be the last outdated one I'll ever publish on the website.*
*Unless there's some crazy announcement at General Conference next month.**
**Speaking of General Conference, the Ward Cartoonist General Conference Activity Packet is coming to this space Thursday.

Pi Day Sacrament Meeting
Saturday is Pi Day for those who celebrate.
This joke only works up to the first nine digits of pi. Digits 10 through 12 are 3-5-9 which don't quite make it into the current Hymnbook (we stop at 341). Hence the lack of a rest hymn.
It was also critical that I posted this book before the Church replaces the old Hymnbook with a new one since who knows what the numbering is going to look like with that.

The Final Victim of the Mission Curse
I was so proud of myself when I first came up with the idea of having all of Elder Van Dyke's companions Dear Johned while serving with him. I thought it would make for a good running joke. What I didn't figure when hatching that idea was the number of different ways I'd have to come up with for companions to get dumped.
Overall, I think I like the idea of the "mission curse" more than I like the execution. I feel like there were some solid jokes associated with it, but I should have made the manner in which Elder Van Dyke's companions were Dear Johned progressively more outrageous.
