Francis by Patrick J. Marrin for April 14, 2014

We knew it! Money laundry!

Well the Vactican Bank had to “clean” up its act.

Papa will force reform…I hope. May he include women in his reformation.

Now that’s real money laundering! Clean money, relatively germ-free, would be nice!

Amen, crabbyrino

Go get ’em Francis.

Nice doormat.

Nice doormat.

Sorry about the double, extra touchy ipad today.

“Inserito scidulam quaeso ut faciundam cognoscas rationem” ATM instructions in Latin – insert your card to begin!

I hadn’t expected anything like this. It looks like the strip is going to go in some interesting directions.

I do like how his yarmulke flies off his head.

I notice he’s smiling in that last panel.

Is he? I think he looks astonished.

Saw your comment after I’d typed mine. Hadn’t ever heard that word before. Thanks.

@Night-Guant49 et alia:Zucchetto (pronounced “tsuk’ketto”) is the correct spelling of the word. From Italian it translates as “small gourd”…much like zucchini, “zucca” being “gourd or squash”.

Doesn’t the one with his arms in the wash bucket remind you of Father Guido Sarducci of Saturday Night Live fame?

Well, it was a yarmulke first!

Just saw the doormat. Holy Cows! So cute.
