What a cheery, upbeat assessment, Dave! And a real antidote to all the tedious, brain-scramblingly nitpicky gatherings that clearly happen in some churches although never in any that I’ve attended (ahem).
Over the years I’ve managed to wean myself off church meetings to such an extent that I hardly seem to go to any now, which is a great blessing. Mostly. I’ve only been in 3 churches in 25 years of being saved-dom, and I can say without fear of contradiction that Baptists have the most, and Anglicans the least. Unless there were some I slept through, and didn’t count.
Still, yay for good meetings, and boo for bad ones.

I can only assume you
A) Are being sarcastic
or
B) Have never been to a church meeting

Peter Kirk says:
Great! I think I, as Church Council secretary, will print this on meeting agendas etc. It just might encourage people to turn up!

I can only assume that this is some crazy alternate reality, signified by the backwards hand….

Dave says:
Hennell. I have no idea what is going on with that hand. I drew it a year ago or more - perhaps I hadn’t learnt where the thumb was by then. I might redo it lest it brings shame upon my artistic reputation.
Rick. Good question. Perhaps I am trying to open up a debate. Or perhaps I’d eaten too much cheese.

This cartoon reminds me about why I don’t go to church meetings. Are those smiling faces saying, “Hey Vicar we’ve got you now!”

Ann says:
Brilliant? Most church meetings I have attended have been on the other end of the scale from brilliant — not sure what that would be - they define “dull”

This is a great cartoon. Well done. I’m going to print out the larger resolution version and pin it to our session room door.

I think the real question is what was in the tea and biscuits before the meeting for people to be smiling like that?

Dave - ‘please don’t put up a high res downloady version’.
Just testing to see if I count as just anyone.

I’m not that much of a fan of church meetings, since my job was unexpectedly abolished at the most recent APCM of the church I work at.

the clue is in the hand - its a crazy distorted backwards universe…

Interestingly, the more you look at those people, the more they look like cybermen.
