A reverend and a cartoonist team up to take a loving look at the fun, frolic, and foibles of people in the pews and at the pulpit!

Father Henry C. Beck was a newspaperman, a mystery novelist, and a noted New Jersey folklorist as well as a the rector of the Calvary Episcopal Church in Flemington, NJ. He served as an idea man, while W. Bolte Gibson, who did cartooning for everyone from Campbell’s Soup to The Polio Chronicle, contributed his own ideas and all of the art.

First published in the 1950s, these cartoons are both a portrait of their time and an example of how some truths are eternal. This contains all the cartoons that were in the books Fun In Church, More Fun In Church, and Lapses In The Apses – over 170 cartoons in all!
