As the cartoonist for the Catholic magazine Extension in the 1950s, Joe Lane specialized in chronicling the lighter side of men and women in faith. With this collection, he shows his delightful take on the lives of nuns, as the sisters apply their sacred calling to the day-to-day world. NOTE: Joe Lane occasionally used caricatures of Africans and Native Americans which, while common at the time, are understood as inappropriate today. These are included in this edition in order to make it a proper reprint. For those who would prefer to avoid such cartoons, we recommend the collection Nun Funnies! .
