Roll Over, Joseph Smith — Is It Possible That A Vision Spawned Another Movement In the Empire State?

With the e-mail that brought today' 'toon to Ye Olde In Box, Tom/Dan wrote:

Hey all,

Had to wrap this cartoon up in the middle of last week, due to a big project I was taking part in that I can’t tell you about for awhile. (It’s interesting, but nothing huge, I’m not teasing a new TV deal or something.)

And then as soon as I wrapped that up, another random and irresistible thing came up that I had to spend some serious time focused on.

Sorry to be so oblique, I’ll explain all of this at some later date. The point is, it’s Sunday and man am I exhausted. What is this “time off” of which people speak?

Until next week, my friends…

Dan/Tom

So, with a cryptic 'toon, we get a cryptic message from the 'toonist accompanying an account of a cryptic vision experience in the tRump Tower in June 2015. The HA (Horse's A$$) might have taken a vision experience.that animated a religious movement in the mid-19th religious movement in the same direction nearly 200 years later in tRump Tower. If this is a (fair & balanced) example of virtual historical equivalency, so be it.
