Sometimes as a parent, you have to take a step back and wonder “Did I cause this? What caused this? And… if the world finds out… will they surround the house and throw stones through the windows?”
One of these moments was when I found out my older son was doing a comic called Ninja Nun.
Honestly, I’m not sure if it’s very good, totally demented or “yes.”
On the other hand, I don’t think I should have to suffer alone, so I’m sharing.

“Honestly, I’m not sure if it’s very good, totally demented or “yes.””
I’ll go with: very good, mildly demented, and, looking forward to more.
Answers to your questions:
1. Yes. You did cause it. The fruit does not fall far from the tree. It’s a good thing.
2. No they won’t. Instead someday you will meet someone, tell them your name, and they will say, “Are you related to Robert Hoyt, the dude that does Ninja Nuns?” instead of “Did you write something? Darkship Thieves or some story like that?” and you will still be inordinately pleased that they recognized your son instead of you.
Pretty good. I’m up to about 7 and I’ve laughed out loud a few times. Comics don’t often make me laugh.
“These days, if you ask a person to give up all their possessions and live in poverty, they think you work for the government”
And in honor of the overthinking nature of this blog, that makes me overthink something.
Will the lack of jobs lead to more people taking vows?
Will we see an upsurge of nuns, brothers and priests?
And will that cause those people’s families to take religion more seriously?
Intellesting thought I hadn’t thought before.
Ah, what the offspring do. Like ask the drill instructor(upon being issued rifle and cleaning kit, about the kit) “Drill Sergeant, do we have anything better?”
Or daughter in high school, when a anti-gun teacher asked a question about a housebreaker with a knife, lecturing the class on the Tueller Drill.
Sometimes you find out they really DID listen. For better or worse…
I love this comic! Partly because my daughter is a nun.
He should be busted for pun abuse I think. Dolly Llama, indeed.
