Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for May 25, 2024

nicely played Reverend

So his altar ego is functions in the pulpit.

Years ago… Pastor Tyrone, good friend, nice guy. But when he got in the pulpit his voice took on pious tones – drawing out vowels and sounding like a caricature of a 16th century Puritan.

That’s the beer and Texas chili from last night.

Altar ego. I like that. I may be using that this Sunday.

The altar altered his ego!!!

Good one, why didn’t I think of that before?

I normally shy away from altars.

Does the Rev know there’s a special H#ll for punners?

To rhyme is fine, to pun is divine.

He’d best remember that the Constitution says that ours is not an altar nation.
