Must we have these hideous teeth pictures on the web site? Can’t that ad agency find anything more appealing, like a nice smile or something? It looks like we’re all about to be chomped.
As for the strip, lovely scene in the middle panel. Looks like the wall is talking. If walls could talk.
I think Ramona knows something Upton doesn’t. Perhaps the real Rev. Peacegood is here somewhere? And besides, did they succeed in stealing anything?
And if impersonating a minister is a crime, then Revs. Jesse and Al can be arrested too.

We don’t know what happened to the missing minister. We do know that Upton didnt have anything to do with it. Slim assumed Upton was the minister and Upton just went along with it. While it may not be ethical I’m not sure it’s illegal. And besides, Upton has come clean. Unless he’s done something somewhere else, perhaps a robery over in Rex Morgan, he’s clean.
Jesse & Al should be arrested! I’m surprised they weren’t at the white house for a free beer. I personally feel the officer should’ve refused to go, but I’ll bet he had no choice!
It’s not illegal to pretend to be somebody. He didn’t commit ID fraud in that he didn’t use a real person’s SS number or other info.. Impersonation with intent to commit financial fraud can be an offense, but it’d be hard to show such intent on Upton’s part. Giving a long-winded sermon is, unfortunately, no crime.
If we are going to indict those who falsely proclaim to be men of god, we can throw all the televangelists in jail and about 90% of the republicans in congress.
I went genius last week and I’m disappointed so far. It’s nice to get everything in one page. But if you post any at all it’s a pain. You have to load each page seperately to read or leave comments. But there are no teeth!
Actually, Pastor Present is the Parson, but another minister named Warren Peacegood was on his way to fill in for him while he was on vacation. So what happened to him?
I would have told Mr. O to take my bottle of beer, and stuff it where the sun don’t shine SIDEWAYS!!! Gates could, too.
Most religions set up their ministries using credentials that they approve. For instance, seminaries, college degrees, etc.
Otherwise, anyone with a computer publishing program can print up a “Diploma”. You can find plenty of fake “degrees” on the net. I could be a minister for “X” number of dollars, anytime I want to waste the money.
Even years later, this is still a great story – It reminds me of an episode of Little House on the Prairie, which included Johnny Cash as a guest star. There was another similar episode in The Virginian. It’s a good thing we still have re-runs we can look back on.

What would anyone say to the police if they called?
“Arrest him! He stole something, he didn’t say what!”

I don’t have any teeth pictures and I’m not a Genius. Just some dopey ad about stomach fat.

I’m docking you for semantics (wrong verb, you should have used “does” rather than “is”), bigg3469.

The strip has been kind of so-so. It’s interesting reading the comments of believers.
