One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for January 05, 2023

A mission making sure Dolly isn’t watering down her drinks.

He goes on missions at the local cathouse too!

Had never heard of “smoke hounds” until today…

Many, many years ago in Minneapolis, a story on the back pages of the local section of the paper was about a man who fell down the stairs at the local p*rno bookstore and theater (back then, there were MANY in downtown Minneapolis), and died of a broken neck. Many people clucked their tongues at the “pre-vert” who died in the p*rno house…

Comes out later that he was a well-respected pastor, with a dedicated congregation. Loved in his community.

Those same people: “He must have been there, ministering to a wayward soul!”

He was ministering to something… ;-)

(I don’t know if the word I’m self-editing is something GoComics is going to clear or not, so I edited it myself. :-) )

I wanna be a ne’er-do-well. “Yes, sir…that gap in employment on my resume is when I was a ne’er-do-well…no, it didn’t pay well at all…”

He was wholly on a mission, too.

Ruthie needs to visit her Aunt Dolly more often!

a Rabbi, a Priest, and a Minister walked into a bar……………………………. because they had some of the best burgers in town. WHY ELSE??

She’s right, Nick. You should have made her wait outside the bar with the hookers.

Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the infallible representative of God.

Baptists do not recognize each other in adult bookstores.

I hear Thursday is Scofflaws Night, but when do the scoundrels and desperados get there?

All those historic words! Carfare, saloon, smoke hounds, ne’er-do-wells, malcontents…

He must’ve heard one too many confessions this week.
