That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 17, 2014

It is Holy Gas.

The pope’s holy garb seems to be still attached to the curtain rod

And Steve, it’s really easy to photoshop a cursor

That’s incensitive.

It was that pepperoni pizza he had for lunch. They told him not to put anchovies, hot peppers and double cheese on it. But believing in his infallibility, he ignored him. Plus they haven’t invented Tums yet, so……

i think the arrow is pointing to the one who really did it.

“It says here, that a floating arrow will indicate where the Holy Grail is hidden.”

Look for the white smoke.

But pope-ie, when you said “push in my stool”…

Nice!

“Holiness…pleez lay offa devilled eggs….bad for you image anda bad for us too!.”

I’ m outa here..phew!

He’s got something up his sleeve; and it’s on the way out.

Do you have to cut-and-paste WITH the cursor still in the picture? Try the Snipping Tool!It’s not a big deal. It certainly doesn’t hurt the humor, but I doubt that so many of the great masters painted cursors in their paintings.

Click-to-enlarge image can be found here, or at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry (no cursor).Portrait of Pope Leo X with Cardinals Giulio de’ Medici and Luigi de’ Rossi (painting’s Wikipedia page link points to individuals) is shown, with a different coloration image (click-to-humongous image compliments of its Google Cultural Institute page), and described (Google translated), by its current location page.A different coloration click-to-enlarge image, along with a description and extensive artist bio, can be found here. Another different coloration image can be found here; but there are many different coloration or detail images available online.A longer description can be found here, and in 2003, not counting the bibliography pages, Renaissance Quarterly, devoted 42 pages to an analysis of it. The artist’s Wikipedia page and collection (many, many more under Subcategories at each level).Second, of the 3 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.

Leo X was the last Pope who wasn’t a priest. He was also an atheist and gay. How did he become Pope? His family hadmoney and political power.

“After you’ve cleaned up after the poop— er, Pope…”

::snicker::

“And cleared out the pews…”

::snort::

“Is there something amusing about your duties?”

::guffaw::

arlo77: You mean that pope isn’t Catholic?

The guy on the left got a good nose full and stiffened right up.

When’s he ever going to learn to keep that pointer out of the picture?! :)

How wonderful. More comedy at the expense of the Catholics.

Somewhat like the credit card commercial…Picture = goodComments from the readers = excellentPut together = PRICELESS!Gotta love all of the above comments, they really make the strip come alive…

This one reminds me of a “Frazz” comic from a while back.

“Thou has smelt it? Thou has dealt it!”
