The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 15, 2017

Now they’re all pope-ed out.

I wonder what the creature does during conclaves?

Pastis visits Vatican City.

I’m sure young people don’t understand this joke.

Any relation to a papal bull?

And I thought the gargoyles on the cathedrals were mythical creatures.

The hat makes him look like a fish.

Now he’ll bust through the steel curtain : > ]

Puts a new spin on transubstantiation…

I come from the land of purple people eaters and yellow polka dotted bikinis.

No way they got it together enough to elect 3 Popes in a month.

At one time the Minnesota Vikings had a ferociously good defensive line that went by the nickname “purple people eaters”. One of them, Alan Page, later went on to a long and distinguished career as a justice on the Minnesota Supreme Court.

Where was he during WW2?

But he’s not a purple papal!

I wonder how many people under the age of 60 will get the reference.

My favourite song as a kid XD

Lol! Lol! Lol! ☺

Excellent!

I remember it and know every word.

This strip was responsible for me following “Argyle Sweater” in the first place… :D
