As my long-gone grandmother used to joke, especially on her deathbed, “home is where the harp is" and I’m not absolutely sure she wasn’t, in some small way, also alluding to the beer!
I don’t think real Francis has ruled out retiring (and yeah, Benedict made a point of not being elsewhere. That helps weed out chance of anything being misconstrued as alternate location or competition or undermining current pope).I think Francis would retire if he felt he wasn’t up to the demands of the job, but would be especially reluctant to do so while Benedict is still alive, to avoid the scenario of having TWO (!) living ex-popes.

Today’s strip is a little deaper than usually. And that’s a good thing.

Oh dear, have I missed something? Is Francis ailing? This is the second strip to alluding to an ending, and he didn’t give the Mass at Easter, right?

Death is a part of life… the last part.

Someone else commented recently elsewhere: A 100 year old woman said “I’ll bet all my friends think I went to Hell”.

I’m missing something. Why would Francis go back to Argentina? Benny didn’t go back to Germany.
