The Nutz family is definitely not the Cleavers, the Waltons or the Bradys. But you'll undoubtedly recognize them anyway. Most likely, they're a lot like the family you grew up in... where the battle for the last chicken leg is comparable to the Battle of Bull Run, sibling rivalry is putting it mildly, and family values usually refers to a coupon book. Soup to Nutz by Rick Stromoski stars hard-working Roy Nutz, his loving wife Pat, and their battling brood - sons Roy-boy and Andrew, daughter Babs and rambunctious dog Rosco.
Stromoski is the seventh in a family of 12 children. Growing up in such a large family has given him an especially developed sense of humor that he has expressed through drawing from the moment he could pick up a pencil. A self-taught cartoonist and humorous illustrator, his work has appeared in national magazines, children's and humor books, newspapers, licensed products, national advertising and network television. Stromoski's greeting cards have become best-sellers for several major companies. He has won four Louie Awards for outstanding greeting card design. He has been nominated for his illustration work by the National Cartoonists Society 12 times and was awarded the Reuben division award for best greeting cards in 1995 and 1998, and for magazine gag cartoons in 1999. An NCS board member since 1997, he was elected president in 2005.

Stone mason, actually…not a whole lot of woodworking was done in the desert :)

On account of the number of trips he did all over the country, I’d say either working for a traveller’s guide, or spying on the Romans. The latter would explain the curious set-up of expeditive justice at the end.

Oh, “Jesus wash my sins away.” I was confused there for a minute. Hope this isn’t a reflection of how my day is going to go.

It wasn’t all desert and still isn’t. Joseph was a carpenter and that is the trade he taught Jesus. There are places where it is green for growing crops and trees.

Jesus’ job was Healer, story teller, miracle worker, bread of life, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He was God in the flesh Who died for you and me.

Doesn’t matter: Jesus didn’t meet them until he began his ministry. Nazareth is out in the middle of West Nowhere, Galilee, leagues and leagues from the Sea of.
