I’ve never commented before, and I enjoy your comic. I would like to say how well thought out this one is, aligning the Abbot & Costello joke with WHO, science, and Trump. Very intelligent work. Bob from Spain

I’m sorry, he doesn’t come anywhere close to third. Dead last.

What I especially love is the correspondent meanings of the shorthand “names” and their real world instantiations.

Who = the W.H.O.

What = Science, which seeks to know what is really going on.

I Don’t Know = The biggest Know-Nothing in USA political history.

But the one who speaks in the first panel looks like Costello, and should be Abbot.

I like “Abbot Bud.”

Ooh, didn’t see that one coming. Very clever, Nice!

“I don’t give a confession!"

“Oh, that’s our shortstop!”

And they’re settling their differences in a not very Christian manner.

GOOD artwork on the two clerics! They caught Bud and Lou.

And yet there are cardinals who complain that stay-at-home is violation of separation of church and state and interferes with peoples’ right to worship.

For one thing, they do not see the hypocrisy in their statement. The Catholic Church and other Christian sects are trying their darndest to make “Christianity” the State Religion.

I don’t know how to tell them that the church is the people and not the institution. I think their concern is more about losing clerical power and revenue than saving people’s souls.

When Jesus said, “Whenever two or more gather in my name, I am there also,” he did not caveat it with “and you have to be within 6 feet of each other.”

Yeah, let no-show Joe and Pelousi advise on how to deal with the health/economic problems. Since they have all the answers, why don’t they speak up instead of bad-mouthing EVERY decision the president makes?

This cartoon has turned political. Religion and politics are bad bedfellows. No longer funny. I’m out.

And from the depths of the 90s i hear…Can’t we just all get along?

Nicely done!

Nicely done!
