Speck the Altar Boy

This book was originally my uncle's (when he was a boy) but was given to me by my mother when I started serving many moons ago. Speck is a mischievous server in the times when priest wore cassocks and nuns wore habits. The cartoons are drawn by Margaret Ahern.

I’ll be posting a scanned image of Speck’s adventures here and there.

"O.K. if a layman blows out the candles?"

and no lace... none of the Speck cartoons have any lace.

Fabulous! Absolutely wonderful comic! Good work on keeping this; make sure you bring it to Mass on Sunday. I'm pleased about the lace...

Guys - Speck was created by my father, Tut LeBlanc. I am glad you enjoy his work!
