SL Trib's Pat Bagley on Mormonism, Utah, and national politics

Post by Alphus and Omegus »

Pat has all kinds of interesting things to say about his career drawing editorial cartoons for the Salt Lake Tribune for 42 years, including some discussion of his 1990s side-gig as a Mormon children's book author.

Anyone remember "I Spy a Nephite?" He also did a Book of Mormon chronology book that was for adults and older kids.

I enjoyed it. I am a big fan of Pat Bagley. That part of waving Ezra Taft Benson's hand like a puppet was indeed like a scene out of Weekend at Bernie's. I imagine in the future they could use CGI to produce whole Conference speeches.

Glad you liked it. I feel like the average nevermo has no idea about many of the worst aspects of Mormonism, particularly how it brainwashes members. The days of Mormonism converting people with stable lives and educations are over (I'd say around 2003 or so), but it's important for nevermos to understand that they shouldn't enable the leadership if ever put into that position.

Bought that when my kids were young, they and I, loved it!

Have you heard how Will is doing? I heard he had a series of strokes. I remember going to a non LDS church with a Davis county meet up group a few years ago, and Will spoke on several topics and I bought a book by him called, "South Pass", sadly I haven't read it all. I'm more an audible person these days.
