Q. What’s with the name?
A. When I was a kid I used to love the “funny pages” or the Sunday comics section in my newspaper. I would wake up on Sunday morning and follow all the little dots to show me all the things Billy got into before telling his mom, “There’s nothing to do!” in The Family Circus, I would cheer the antics of Dennis the Menace as his neighbor Mr. Wilson cursed him, I’d wish I had a lasagna eating cat like Garfield, or at least a cool dog like Snoopy, and occasionally one would actually make me laugh (usually The Far Side).
Q. So shouldn’t it be called Sunday Funnies?
A. No, like the Sunday comics, I’m hoping to get A laugh, but I know that I won’t get multiple laughs. Also, that domain was already taken.
Q. Anything else to the name? Why Sunday?
A. Well every piece of advice I’ve ever read to aspiring writers, is to write. Sounds crazy, I know. I figure this will give me some accountability to try to publish something every Sunday. If doesn’t happen on a Sunday, it isn’t happening. Sunday happens to be the day that most church attenders, go to church. This blog will be about my faith. I’m putting that out there now as I know I’m not going to trick anyone into reading this. Considering it a warning, I might mention the G word. However, the good news is that if you actually subscribe to this blog and read the Sundays Funny, you don’t even have to go to church. In fact, you can just send your tithe to me.
Q. Wait, YOU are writing about God? Do you think you are better than us?
A. Yes, I do. Unfortunately, I’m better at sinning. Fortunately though, I’m also saved by grace.
Q. If I actually like your stupid blog, can I sign up and be notified when a new post comes out (asked nobody ever)?
A. Yes, I will pay you to do so. If you pretend to like it or actually share it with others, you will be my new second best friend (sorry, but you can’t compete with my loveable pup).
