Paten Pending
So long as we’re talking about patens, what do you think: should we bring them back during Communion? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

In St. Augustine’s Confessions, he writes that along with his companions, he once stole a great deal of pears — not for hunger, as he was not hungry, but for the sake of committing theft — and so this comic came to mind and I hope you will enjoy it.

Thy Geekdom Come is the sometimes profitable endeavor a man who, like his main characters, the Puddle Family, has thrown himself head-first into the Humanae Vitae lifestyle of way more kids than have been deemed sane by the world at large.

Micah Murphy
Humorist, cartoonist, general pain in the ist
Born from the mind of a neurotically serious Catholic heaven-bent on choosing to laugh at his own folly, Thy Geekdom Come is the endeavor of Micah Murphy, academia nut by day, mediocre cartoonist by night, but ever the geek-of-all-trades. He brings to this work his B.A. in theology, catechetics, and Latin, his M.Ed. in Curriculum, and – far more relevantly – his years of experience as a lay Catholic in ministry. His hope is to bring everyone a laugh through the gift of humility that allows us to take ourselves lightly. Micah lives in the Diocese of Shreveport, LA, with his wife and their flock of billy goats – NO! Children. Children. Please treat him to coffee before engaging in conversation.

Michael the Archangel, a Saint for Your Phone!
Announcing St. Michael the Archangel, an original TGC artwork smartphone background for your mobile! Purchase and download this new background artwork to show off your favorite saint today! The St. Michael artwork was inspired by the iconic Ender’s Game line, “The Enemy’s Gate is Down!” as seen on our tee.
Ender’s Game is my favorite novel, well written and full of rich banter with imaginative and immersive world-building. Although a dystopia where religion is less than encouraged, a bit of Catholic sensibility still remains in Ender, a Third (rare and usually illegal third-born child), who declares in the Battle School that “The Enemy’s Gate is Down!” Although this line was never meant with a religious tone, it nevertheless gained one in my hearing and I love to think of it in moments of spiritual warfare.
These St. Michael the Archangel backgrounds show great detail and took several hours of intense work to produce originally in vector format, resulting in a crisp image that really is stunning. (My phone is set to red as I write this and it’s a thing of beauty.)

Diet
Unlike Gwen or Thaddeus, whose weight seems to reflect being only digital forms, I’ve struggled with my weight through life. The relatively sedentary life of a cartoonist doesn’t seem to lend itself to efforts for self-improvement here. I’ve tried every diet, too, and seem to have the best luck with low-carb, veggies, lean meat, and intermittent fasting. What fun is that?!
So let’s talk diet foods. Who’s got the best flavorful health dishes? Post in the comments.
