Oh, my. Bless Leo.

They’re goodfellas.

The plot thickens!

I’d worry about that dog. Looks like a mafia spy to me.

When Micrin Minestrone gave somebody the Kiss of Death in _Mad_’s “The Oddfather Part, Too,” reference was made to garlic.

Please note an error in the Italian for “kiss.” It should be “Bacio” and not “Bocia.” My apologies to the Mafia.

This is going to get very interesting.

There used to be a time when the Mafia would not cross the pope or the Catholic Church.

There are only so many indulgences money can buy. Whacking someone is not a sin that can be bought off with a new church building or massive donation.

This is a slightly dark arc.
