Grace and I were married in 1965. We survived the Nixon administration, the 70's, Disco, raised kids who now have grown kids of their own.

Lately, I've been having trouble in the lower region. Pills, diet, nothing gets the battery charged. Distraught, I turned on a faith healer on TV.

"If you need a healing, put one hand on the affected area and the other on the TV."

I put one hand on the TV and the other on my crotch. Grace walked by.

"Tom, he said he could heal the sick. He didn't say he could raise the dead!"

I looked at this idea almost from the perspective of it being a comic strip. If I hadn't given up drawing when I got out of high school I could've probably drawn it. As it stands, I'm going to do it as an occasional drabble series.

Thank you, Aspen. It's something I've been thinking about for a long time.

You'd better call him Lazarus! Funny drabble! Keep them coming!

Just noticed your comment- "As it stands..." or clearly doesn't.
Very funny, looking forward to more X

This would make a great comic strip, indeed. Well done.
