Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for August 28, 2022

This must portend something happening in the real world or that had happened.

If they were in a Catholic church the statues would run out!

There should be a panel showing how many worshippers are there after that dumb rube “sings”!!

Betcha he’s worse than the fat lady!!

I’d much rather have the Mole Hill Highlanders than those stupid mice!

Rufus singing WOULD drive out the masses of EVERYONE…. Joel is just trying to be kind in his admonition.

Joel is always ever-ready to work with stalwart energy and dedication to a task. Notice, he even removed his chapeaux while in church.

Our pipe-smoking hero remains steadfast and true to his professorial nature!

I’ll sing on Rufus’ behalf in church this morning!

You’re not allowed to sing because you can’t sing.

should have had the singing mice today

If nothing else, the generally hapless Ruthless and Jor-El seem to have a better than average grip here on the subtle but very real art of addressing a congregation with a propensity for either only showing up on Christmas and Easter or showing up once a week, not applying what they heard that morning to the rest of the week and never opening a Bible, but nonetheless “Feelin’ purty good about muhsef ’cause I done did my duty”.

Church I go to they have bi-laws established maybe from the start, When a Pastor serves so many years they have to go on a sabbatical, our current Pastor has 15 years so he is gone for maybe two months. Next be the children Pastor he will be gone for a little while

I always appreciated a “breather” from a soloist or a group when I was serving as a pastor. This gang? Well, I’m willing to give them grace.

We typically have a hymn sing instead of a regular service the Sunday after Christmas.

The Molehill Highlanders will now sing “Somewhere My Love Lies Sleeping”

With a male chorus.
