Faith - Spreading the word
Making a difference

I began drawing cartoons based
on Bible verses in the 1990’s.
I have always loved drawing cartoons, and one day the idea
came to me for a cartoon that
would illustrate the relationship
between faith and grace.
Not long after, an idea for a second cartoon came to me. I noticed that the back page of the
weekly bulletin at my church
was often blank, so I approached the pastor with the
idea of using my cartoons to fill
that space, and he agreed to my
proposal .
I didn’t draw
any
necartoons w for a
few years.

After that, ideas for other cartoons started coming to me, and
they became a regular feature of
the church bulletin.
I then thought of sharing the
cartoons, which by this time
were called Joyful ‘toons (so
named by my wife Marilyn), with
other churches, but I didn’t know
how to do it. I tried contacting
other churches through the mail,
but that proved to be very difficult. I was only able to tell a few
churches about the cartoons.
