Poor Noah. Dream on. It’s going to be centuries before such a tool exists. Perhaps if instead of working on the ark he worked on inventing electricity…why that could’ve chanced the course of history!
Dear Santa,
This year I would like an electric saw, a power drill, (one with the battery pack) a nail gun and a lot of HELP. Oh yeah, did I mention a lot HELP? But, I don’t want a puppy or a pony or a kitten, or even a turtle or a ferret.
I’ve been good, you can ask God,
Your friend,
Noah.
Poor Noah. That’s exactly how I felt the last time I had to build without power tools. By the time I got the boards cut, I was almost too tired to nail them together… 🙂
Your cartoon reminds me of the Bill Cosby bit about Noah building his ark: “Let’s see. How much is a cubit? I used to know what it was” Thanks for the morning chuckle, Carl.

I know how Noah feels. Funny though it was the hardest and longest method to use but atleast things were made with quality.

That is certainly true. Nothing much here on shelves of stores except cheap low grade crap from China.
