In the process of trying to track down evidence of attribution of the cartoon mentioned above, I came across the work of another cartoonist, Cuyler Black. His web site is called \u201cInherit the Mirth\u201d<\/a> and he also has a blog by the same name<\/a>. Let me share some samples that he has on his web site and hopefully direct some traffic there to get some of them on greeting cards or T-shirts. There are many more<\/a> funny ones<\/a> where these came from<\/a>.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Again, please do pay a visit to the site and take a look around at more of Cuyler Black\u2019s cartoons \u2013 they are definitely worth exploring<\/a>. And to him and other cartoonists like him who explore the intersection of faith and humor, I offer a round of applause\u2026and of laughter!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
