Hi GoComics readers,
Many of you have expressed curiosity and even concern about the comic hiatus for Pat Oliphant's drawings. We wanted to share that Pat is doing well, in good health, but simply on vacation. As soon as when we have an update on the date of his next drawing, we'll share the news here and via social media.
We have wonderful readers. This is an example of the impact that an artist and their work can have on lives and we will continue to value that relationship with you. Thank you.

Called "the most influential cartoonist now working" by The New York Times, Pat Oliphant occupies a unique position among today’s editorial cartoonists: Widely considered the dean of the profession, he is one of its sharpest, most daring practitioners.

The reason I love Oliphant 95% of the time, even when I dislike the day’s offering, is that the man will take on anything and anyone. Fairness is not part of his work (see today’s offering), but neither is bowing down to sacred cows. That remaining 5% would be Obama, the one person on the planet regarding whom Oliphant can find nothing to criticize. Hell, even Michelle got a comeuppance, while Obama does things suitable for a political cartoon pretty much every day. I really don’t get why our modern Daumier is so willing to lay down for this very ordinary guy.

So, “Joey the Rat” is gone. I wonder which made guy will be the installed as new Capo di tutti capi of the crime syndicate? He should be happy that he wasn’t hit like John Paul I.

Malachy’s final words:
Known to Catholics as St. Malachy (1094-1148)
.
In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, the next pope, who will feed his flock among many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city (Rome, the seat of the Vatican) will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.

What a nice change of subject. Now if you could only weave the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus in with it, it could be almost perfect.

People claim that the Catholic Church is all better now that it’s no longer abetting the Holocaust or conducting its own horrors, like the Crusades, the Inquisition, or anti-scientific persecutions (Galileo, Kepler, Copernicus, etc.). But really, it’s just turned its proclivity for evil in different directions:
• buying and selling babies in Spain
• peonage labor of orphan girls in Ireland
• spreading AIDS in Africa
• encouraging poverty thru breeding in Latin America
• systematic misogyny around the globe
• corrupt practices at the Vatican Bank
• and of course the horrific pedophilia scandals in the US and elsewhere
Frankly, it’s inadequate penance for only the pope to resign. They ALL should.
