Mike Luckovich for March 28, 2023

Why would the white God or Adam give a rip about right wingers’ preferences?

Such a crock that this is actually an issue for people.

More proof that there isn’t a god or any gods, it’s all man’s doing.

It really happened. The following is a quote from the Wikipedia page about an Italian painter named Daniele Da Volterra:

__"Daniele is infamous for having covered over, with vestments and fig-leaves, many of the genitals and backsides in Michelangelo’s The Last Judgment fresco in the Sistine Chapel. This work was begun in 1565, shortly after the Council of Trent had condemned nudity in religious art. It earned Daniele the nickname “Il Braghettone” (“the breeches-maker”).

He also chiseled away a part of the fresco and repainted the larger part of Saint Catherine and the entire figure of Saint Blaise behind her. This was done because in the original version Blaise had appeared to look at Catherine’s naked behind, and because to some observers the position of their bodies suggested sexual intercourse.

The loincloths and draperies in the lower half of the fresco, however, were not painted by Daniele. His work on the Last Judgment was interrupted at the end of 1565 by the death of Pope Pius IV, after which the scaffolding he used had to be removed quickly because the chapel was needed for the election of a new pope."__

How long before GQPers DEMAND that women clothe their babies ….. in utero??!!!

/SHNARK/

Oy, so G-D’s in the schmatta trade – there goes the market, already.

Who does he think He is, Levi Strauss?

A long recognized masterpiece of art, it’s not like it just popped up.

Another symptom of an educational system which has been politicized to the point of actually not educating any more.

It’s another example of their deflection and projection.

Luckovich is right on point as usual but wish he would have used Michelangelo’s masterpiece “David” in today’s strip since that is what has happened recently in Florida which resulted in the firing of a school’s principal.

Reminds me of this…..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ0SRgh3X9Q

Who says the 3 complaining parents were right wingers? Maybe, maybe not.

Are those “button-front”? I accidentally bought a pair of “button-front” jeans once at Goodwill, almost brand new. Have you any idea how long it takes to “use” those things?

Florida Statue of a Man Covered Up

This exact same cartoon (except that it was tighty-whities instead of jeans) was run in an Italian newspaper; I think I ran across that one yesterday.

That image has been up there for centuries. NOW they freak out about it? Prudes should not be allowed in there or at the very least distracted from looking up. Or around them. Maybe they should just stay home.

Wasn’t there an attorney general who had a statue covered?

I’m impressed that Michelangelo chiseled that gorgeous statue out of solid stone. That is art. It is nothing to be ashamed of and hidden. The shame is in the eyes of the narrow minded.

European people laugh at Americans and our immaturity. What’s next. “Oh my God. Boobs!”

Anyone else see this and think of “Arrested Development”?

Wingnuts. Gotta include “nuts” when calling these fools out.

But make sure he can buy all the AK-47s he can carry!

When I first heard about the Florida parents objecting to the statue of David, I thought, “People, it’s a bleedin’ ROCK!” You have to wonder if maybe those parents had been hit on their heads by rocks…might account for their lunacy.

I SEE ANOTHER PULITZER ON THE HORIZON. PLEASE KEEP SPEAKING FOR US, AS ONLYYOU AND YOUR FELLOW GRAPHIC EDITORIALISTS CAN!

The original complainer about David was a mother; I bet her children were conceived through a hole in a sheet.

Not sure why so many people want to go to heaven. Looks awfully overcrowded there.

Reminds me of the Vatican Museum where they actually attached plaster fig leafs to cover up the private parts of classical Greek and Roman nude statues. Seriously? Who are they trying to fool? We all are nudes after all.

Opening another can of “wacko soup”: in the cartoon, is G_d wearing a pink muu-muu?

See? God IS fallible. Those are Lee jeans, not Levi’s.
