I did two years worth of comics while I was a missionary. Every week, in the mornings at 6:30 if I could drag myself upright or after 10:30 lights out if I couldn't sleep, I'd draw something that stuck out and seemed humorous. It was a lot of fun. And people seemed to enjoy them. So I stuck with it.

I'll be honest, sometimes it was just a way to poke fun at uptight missionaries.

Ever since I've been back at Brigham Young University, it's been weird. Being surrounded by Mormons again after so long is like hopping into a swimming pool after sitting in the jacuzzi for an hour. (Kind of tingly, somewhat jarring, yet not really unpleasant.) It's been an experience trying to regain my footing. Then I realized that if missionary culture had been that easy to satirize, Mormon student culture couldn't be too hard.

This take on BYU facial hair* is what followed. Enjoy!

*For those unaware, the BYU Honor Code prohibits beards except for in extenuating circumstances (being in a theater production, having a religious obligation, having bad acne.) Mustaches are fine. (Though, in the end, it's a mustache, so it's not fine.)
