The sign in the comic originally said “Danger, high voltage.” A lot of the previewers didn’t get it. In real life, the sign says “Please Use Other Door” because the hardware store didn’t have any that said high voltage.
I have nothing against Mormons, but traveling salespeople of any kind irritate me. Ads on TV, online, in news papers, on the radio, and through e-mail are more than enough. When I have to get off my ass and open a door to tell a company or church that I have no intention of giving them money, it’s gone too far.
Reading through the queue, I notice I pick on the Mormons maybe a little too much. They seem like a good target for no reason other than the fact that all the Mormons I’ve encountered in the past have seemed fairly good-natured, so it seems unlikely to me that I’ll accumulate any fanatical hate mail from this strip and others like it. I realize that’s a generalization from insufficient data, but it’s not like I go out of my way to meet people.
