    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!

    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.

    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.

    The words actually used in the strip are “Bishop” and “Excellency”; together, we can deduce that the Most Reverend Bishop Bushmiller is an RC bishop (or conceivably Old Catholic, who broke away, mostly about a century and a half ago, mostly because they couldn’t accept Papal Infallibility; or else one of the recent sects that hate the Vatican II reforms so much that they have broken away to start their own churches, with their own “popes”—but I think we can rule out both of those possibilities). Any other sort of bishop isn’t addressed as “Your Excellency”, and any other sort of “Excellency” isn’t addressed as “Bishop”.
