Mayberry Wisdom

Barney Fife: Well, today's eight-year-olds are tomorrow's teenagers. I say this calls for action and now. Nip it in the bud. First sign of youngsters going wrong, you've got to nip it in the bud.
Andy Taylor: I'm going to have a talk with them. What else do you want me to do?
Barney Fife: Well, don't just mollycoddle them.
Andy Taylor: I won't.
Barney Fife: Nip it. You go read any book you want on the subject of child discipline and you'll find every one of them is in favor of bud-nipping.
Andy Taylor: Okay, Barn...first thing tomorrow, I will talk to Phyllis Tickle's and Rob Bell's parents.

Caption Contest #21

Congratulations Angus W. Duncan!
You should start your own humor blog!
I mean it! Really!

I got up this morning at 5 a.m. and worked on this photo. I had a good joke (or so I thought) based on Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None"...then, decided to throw this into the Calvinistic Cartoon's Humor Arena to milk more laughter for everyone.
Here are the Reader's Digest condensed version of the rules:
1. Funny 2. Theological

This time everyone who enters a caption
will win a trip around the sun every year
for the rest of his/her life!
Look to June 16th for the final results!

Death in the Family

My cousin, David Eddings, died of natural causes on June 2nd. He was a very prolific writer - and he wrote everything by hand. Please pray for his family.

Calvinist a-Bloggin'

Take a moment out of your busy day

and post a link to your blog.

Yes, there are a few rules...so pay attention. (If you are too poor to pay attention then just receive the regulations - my gift to you.)

Rule #1: You have to be a Calvinist. (if you prefer to be called a "Biblicist" that's fine...but, you must embrace all 5 points.

Rule #2: Be sure to give the title of your blog and link.

Rule #3: State your state. If you will, please include the city you live in...but, the state or providence, or whatever they are called in the country you live in.

Rule #4: (Optional) - one sentence explanation of blog content and/or intent.

Rule #5: I just wanted to have 5 rules, being a Calvinist and all. So, rule #5 is...read your Bible!

T&G #4

Five Things to Mention

1. I have been getting comments on my Facebook page about my blog postings. I appreciate that, I really do...but, I would prefer them on Calvinistic Cartoons. (or both) I spend very little time on Facebook, probably an average of fifteen or twenty minutes a week. I am glad for the new friendships made, so please don't take this wrong. Comments on CC seem a lot more "permanent" to me and help things move along. Comments here also prompt others to respond.


2. The Limerick contest is still on and will end soon and I am including in the winners prize packet a few of my tracts, a few of my blog cards, and a one hundred dollar bill from my Monopoly game.

3. Do you have heart trouble? Maybe an original love song will help. It's FREE! So take advantage of this musical offer at: http://www.lovesongsforsale.com/index.php/lsfs-news/free-song.html


4. I have a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT to make in August...so please stay tuned!

5. This is just my own simple-minded survey. I would like to know what feature or type of humor you prefer at CC.

Thanks everyone!

Tip for Bloggers

Want to promote your site? The most inexpensive way I have found (with the exception of just standing on the street corner and yelling) is to make yourself some "Blog Cards" like mine above. vistaprint.com offers 250 FREE business cards. All you do is pay the postage. (I don't work for them I am just happy with the results) They have several templates to choose from and they also offer other promotional items for free. You can't beat those prices!

Anyone have any more tips or suggestions?

Caption Contest #19

Thanks Let Us Repent and Believe for the hilarious caption above
and to Phil for his equally funny caption below.

No...you're not seeing double! We have two winners.
Congratulations guys...show the world that Calvinists
know how to share the astronomical winnings...
yes, you have won something in outer space.
Take your pick of any planet outside our solar system.

Do your worst...or your best! Provide a comical caption and win the same thing everyone else has won. The winning caption will be announced on June 7th!

Limerick Contest

New contest! New certificate created! This time the winner will receive the original artwork of Chic & Gumbo. (the art I did of the two...I know it's not much, but you will be the only one on the planet who has it!) JUST REMEMBER TO MAKE YOUR LIMERICK THEOLOGICAL IN CONTENT - AND FUNNY! Here is an example sent in by Herbie Popnecker:

A Christian Scientist from Theale
said “I know that my pain is not real.
When I sit on a pin
and it punctures my skin
I dislike the illusion I feel.”

Winner will be announced on June 8th!
