...I'm
not sure how to explain that last panel, either, unless the Pope really
is a girl underneath all them robes. Or he just maintains a girlish
figure or something.
The
shot of the hungover Pope clutching the bottle of tequila, though,
remains to this day one of my absolute favorite single panels.
Historical
note: That week the Pope did make some attempt to apologize for the
Catholic church's historical "dur it ain't happenin, we ain't
helpin" stance when it came to such lovely things as the Holocaust
and such. I don't remember much about it other than it seemed like
a half-assed attempt or something.
