   Love it – Bishop Bushmiller! How totally appropriate. That almost looks like San Juan Capistrano in the background.

   I suppose he’s related to the owner of Bushmiller’s Power Equipment (where wooly bears go to buy snowblowers).

   Ok, I was wondering yesterday, but it looks like we are turning around again. I like the change!

   You can’t lie to a priest. They can always tell. At least an honest one can.

   @Guy:
   Have you ever given thought of merchandising?

   Out of complete ignorance I ask this question… does one refer to a Protestant bishop as “Your Eminence”? I know the RC’s do, but if Bishop Bushmiller is RC, where is the Roman collar?

   Collar is a choice for a Roman Catholic priest. Even bishops are not supposed to wear it all the time (at least, in Europe).

   By the way, of course you CAN lie to a RC bishop. If you “confess” your lie later (even to the same bishop), you get forgiveness for you sin. That’s a good deal, isn’t it?

    Two days in a row with no Nancy, Aunt Fritzi nor Sluggo – this has got to be some record.

    Actually many Protestant denominations have bishops but only the RCC has the hierarchy of cardinals and a pope.

    Actually Fritizi was based on Ernie Bushmiller’s wife-to-be and Phil created as a self-portrait caricature of Bushmiller himself.

    Don’t ask me… I’m Baptist; we have no hierarchy.

    I was mostly curious about the title, but as far as the collar is concerned, is it an option when he is in “full uniform” like Bishop Bushmiller? That’s why I guessed that Guy drew him that way… hence the question about the title.

    If Phil marries, the strip will end.
