So, I less Pope in the world, I guess… time to pick a new guy… I am available for consideration.  I think I’d do a pretty good job, too, but we’d have to reverse that whole no marriage thing… and birth control… the world needs condoms…  but this isn’t the place to discuss it, just give me a ring, and I’ll let you know my platform for moving the church forward.  Heck, give me the job, and I’ll even complete that Catholic conversion I dropped back in college… well, not until you open up the Communion to everyone, but that’s just the sort of thing this dynamic, young (for a Pope) gentleman is ready to do for the church, so let’s get to it.

It has been interesting to listen to all the news coverage of this relatively unprecedented resignation.  It has also been interesting to see the strange amount of focus they are putting on the ex-Pope’s footwear.  Don’t worry people.  The church is safe.  He’ll no longer where the red shoes, just these brown Chuck Taylor’s he’s grown rather fond of… Holy ruby slippers… clearly a significant issue in these trying times…

Sorry this comic didn’t post last night, but that big midwestern snow storm took out the power, and I couldn’t doodle anything up until it came back.  Man, the house gets cold in the middle of winter with no heat.

But we’re much better now…
