Right On Target

For anyone who grew up LDS/Mormon (as I did), and/or for anyone familiar with Mormonism as an adult, this book (assuming the reader possesses a sense of humor and is not overly defensive) is a pure, cover-to-cover hoot. The cartoon drawings are as funny as the captions. One example: Two Mormon congregations, one in Utah, the other in Bolivia, are shown during a religious service. The congregations differ only in clothing, the Utahans in typical USA Sunday best, the Bolivians in indigenous native attire. The men, women and children in both congregations are otherwise identical in ages, sizes, pew locations, body positions and facial expressions, all sound asleep with heads drooped to the side and mouths hanging open. The caption reads, "The gospel is the same everywhere," a statement very often proudly stated in Mormon meetings.I think it was Oscar Wilde who said, "If you're going to tell people the truth, you'd better make them laugh or they will kill you." This book is a cleverly illustrated look at comically stated truths. I laughed out loud at most of these cartoons.
