    I must not have paid attention at Sunday School. Nice story Ruthie.

    I like the part about the angels from the Baptist church singing.

    Must have been before the mill closed. My Dad and Uncle Bill worked there in WW2.

    I’ve seen many things written of what children understand from what they are told about religion. In many cases the words or names are misunderstood, so children just put things in a frame that they DO understand - don’t we all, really?

    I believe Rick paid a tribute to Mel Lazarus in this one!

    Good eye, Dry. I missed that Mell’s sign completely.

    Love it!

    Did you know God’s name is Harold?

    Our Father, who art in heaven, harold be thy name….

    I myself used to get a kick out of one hymn when I was growing up because I heard the words pee-pee in the chorus - wish I could remember which hymn it was - because the flash of enlightenment I had when I finally realized the real words was huge, and the sheepishness was real.

    Even kids brought up with Sunday School church and daily devotions can misunderstand what is said or meant.

    I love these vintage OBH; I used to think “how can Rick come up with TWO great strips while others stuggle with one” but since I realized that these are vintage, I enjoy them no less! They are all totally great!

    Pilgrims bring turkey to go with the frankensense, gold, and myrrh.

    I got as many laughs from the comments here as from the cartoon. With a day starting with this many laughs, my day is good.

    Years later I realized the only reason my parents sent us kids to Sunday school was so they could have some time alone for sex. I suspect they weren’t the only parents with that motive.
