It’s interesting that we’re shown Laocoön and his sons, whom were murdered by either Poseidon, Athena, or Apollo depending on the version, while Laocoön was trying to save Troy by exposing the Trojan Horse as a trap. He should have have had more tea with Casandra.
I’m not overly familiar with the Vatican art collection, but perhaps the Moses statute would have been a better choice for this. Moses, with a little divine help, seems to have escaped the absolute power morass, and still didn’t live to see the promised land. I wonder if that’s the trade off: good leaders lead well, and let their people reap the rewards. At least I hope so.
On the other hand, if it’s a matter of good personal character makes a good leader.. we’ll that’s another kettle of fish. :)
Ah, football, I wish I understood it (I’m more of a baseball kind of person). Funny, I just saw the “Pigskin: Peanuts” traveling art show from the Charles Schulz museum, and it’s amazing how much football Peppermint Patty used to play with Charlie Brown. It makes me blush that it reminds me of what they were playing in Weapon Brown when they grew up. Yes, football, American football. I saw some rugby on TV the other day. It’s a wonder anyone survives those matches. Really.
Homage falls under Fair Use, and isn’t considered copyright infringement. So does parody. Weapon Brown is the most awesome example of both at the same time I’ve ever seen.

Gary Trudeau is already the modern day Gary Trudeau. As far as know GT isn’t dead or fully retired yet. So, let Pat Marrin be Pat Marrin; he’s doing a great stuff with “Francis.”
Amen to that.
