5. After 40 years, Trudeau still hits 'em out of the park

The most amazing thing about the really good strip writers is how they manage to stay fresh for so long.

7. You've got to admit though- working political makes it easier.

There's a never ending source of material presented daily on a silver platter.

6. OMG. That just made my morning.

8. A very 'special' kind of missionary.

NOT feeding the poor. NOT educating the illiterate. NOT giving medical care to the sick and injured. NOT helping indigent farmers get productive yields. Nope. None of that. Religion as a pyramid scheme ... peddling and proselytizing to expand the 'base' of 10% tithers. Baguettes and cheese for lunch. God forbid that latter day saints do anything "saintly."

9. Ding! Win-nah!

The mormon church: 19th century cross between Amway and Scientology.

10. Spot on description!

11. That's far more accurate than funny.

As one who lives in the state called "home(base)" by the founder(s) of Amway (Dick & Betsy DeVos), a racket found to be illegal and which was outlawed in Canada, it's easy for me to imagine an unholy union of it with L. Ron Hubbard's brain fart spawning the LDS pyramid scheme (God's own RICO).

12. DUzy!

That's a GREAT one, Raster! 19th-century cross between Amway and Scientology!!!!!

No kidding!!!!

14. Thank you! Unfortunately I have first-hand experience...

... I break out in hives whenever I hear "Give Said the Little Stream."

13. That stuff is just all so weird to me..

If Willard isn't weird enough..he went to France to push Mormonism on people during the VietNam War after he was Pushing for The Viet goddamn Nam War.

Freak has always been a bully coward WAR MONGER.
