That's always one of those markers that show the Nephites are hitting their stride in the pride cycle — they start to wear costly apparel. But is it costly when you can get it at a discount?
That's one of the things I love about the Book of Mormon: it shows both groups of people disparaging the other — just like people do. For me it's one of those intrinsic testimonies that it's a true record, not just something somebody made up.
I've been cartooning since I was a teenager, and have been published in magazines ranging from AASHTO Quarterly to the LDS Church magazines and several other periodicals, trade publications and newsletters.

Zarahemla Times is about a family living in the suburbs of Zarahemla in the time frame of about the end of Alma or Helaman in the Book of Mormon. Or so.
Jacob, the dad, is the local reporter, editor and distributor of the Zarahemla Times.
Sariah, the mom, keeps everything running around the home. She's second counselor in the Relief Society.
Naomi and Kib are their two children. Naomi is a typical 16-year-old girl, likes boys and enjoys school. Kib is 11, and is maybe a little too smart for his own good.
Jacob's mother lives with the family as well. They call her Gramma, and no one is quite sure if she's dotty or not...the important thing is that she's an awesome cook.
