This was a last minute unplanned comic that I drew up on Saturday afternoon when it was too hot to do anything outside in the yard. I had to do something with this news event about Pope Benedict’s resignation & Dave was just the man, errr… I mean mental patient who was crazy enough to take on the assignment.
Dave is right though. Workplace discrimination laws state that a person can’t be refused a position based on nationality, race, skin colour, sex or religion. Therefore they can’t deny his right to apply for the job. I’m sure he would bring a new lease of life to the Vatican, especially with Cardinal Lenny as his official Papal advisor.
I'm also sure there are some minimum qualifications on being a pope. There would have to be, so Dave isn't even going to make the first cut. Just saying.
Have a fantastic day.
My recent post Silly Sunday #69
I believe in God so therefore I believe I meet the minimum qualifications. Everyone has to believe in something. I believe I will go have a beer now.
Technically the ONLY requirement to be Pope is to be a male catholic. Dave needs to smash that last hold back and become Pope!
My recent post Finding Nemo 2 ending revealed!
Hmmm… that could be a tricky one.
Maybe they need to break with tradition & have their 1st Non-Cathoic Pope.

“Break with TRADITION”? That might be asking a bit much, Dave.
Dave recently posted…Handyman Signage
Once I become Pope I can break with tradition & become one of Jehovah’s Witness. Then I will really make some big changes in the Vatican.

Good thinking Dennis. How about communion beer instead of wine & chocolate cream filled wafers???

Since the Vatican is a separate country, they probably have their own laws on discrimination. So the only sensible thing to do is to dress up as a polar bear and pretend to be the North Pole minister.
My recent post Grocery List I Wish
Well I don't give a rat's about their laws…
Hey maybe I could give a rat's???
I could offer the Council of Cardinals Barry & Cedric as official Vatican Rats in exchange for securing the position for myself. That might work???…

I hope he's got his resume up to date!
My recent post Station V3 for 20130217
Yes my last position listed was as a mental patient in the padded cell at Ward 9B where I spent my time in solitude talking to Lenny my sock…
Hmmm… On 2nd thoughts I better make something up that sounds more suitable for the papal position
No discrimination you say? Hmm, can women apply? Oh wait, that's sexism….. never mind
No go on & apply. I can be Pope & you can be Popess. That'll keep the Catholics on their toes.

You might want to ditch the sock puppet for the interview. That might not go over so well at the Vatican. Good Luck, Dave!
My recent post Mech-Neck
Say What??? Blasphemy I say, Blasphemy!!! There's no way this Sock Puppet is getting ditched Mister Chris!!! I intend to be Cardinal Lenny, Pope Dave's official Papal advisor. And you Mister Chris can probably expect a Spanish Inquisition sometime in the next month or so…

Well… it's… um… good to have goals in life, I guess…
My recent post Anna No. 3 (faux wet plate collodion)
And a worthy goal it is too Robert. I have had valuable experience. Once when I got off a plane I even kissed the ground. Well actually I tripped on my own shoelace & face planted the runway but it was still a pretty good kiss if I do say so myself…
Pope Dave! Yay!!!
My recent post Dodging a Bullet (No Comments)
All bow before him, or answer to me, Pope Dave's Official Papal Bodyguard
I am sure there will be less qualified applicants applying for the job
My recent post It’s the thought that counts
For sure Joe, for sure.
Dave Krittle for Pope!!! Dave Krittle for Pope!!!
How I need to find more job-vacancy too!!
Good luck with your dream job as a pope Dave
My recent post Twilight Samurai -たそがれ清兵衛 (Tasogare Seibei)
Maybe you could apply for a Nun job & you could be my personal assistant Novroz
I think Dave ought to be Pope!.
You think right Deb, you think right. I bet it's a huge CEO type salary too
Since I'm not Catholic I really don't care if Lenny the sock gets to be Pope but there are a lot of Catholics out there that take it pretty seriously. At least I guess they do.
My recent post Make Yourself At Home
Well no Catholics have opposed my application yet Bo. Maybe they all want a fresh face in the top job
How about if we let a woman step into this role instead. Something tells me there would be some positive changes and some desperately needed house cleaning. We can begin with the pedophile priests that are just relocated when they are found out. Oh – sorry about that rant…
A great idea. And coloured habits for Nuns too
If the papal crown fits, wear it!

You mean the Papal Groin Protector. Hey plus I'll get to ride in the Popemobile. I wonder if they'll let me customize it. Pimp my Popemobile
Why not? Go for it, Dave!

I certainly am going for it Marieke, I certainly am
Go for it Dave!
I think Dave has his expectations set high above reality David. But then again he is a mental patient.
So what religion is he???
I never really gave it much thought & haven’t designated any of my characters with a religion…
He isn’t Catholic so he definitely must be something else…
I wonder if cartoon characters believe in & worship their creators as gods???
Maybe Dave & the others attend the Tasmanian Church of Tony. Would that make them Tonyists??? I’m not really sure
I’m a Presbyterian Italian, so anything’s possible.
You could be the 1st Presbyterian Pope Carl
Dave and Lenny are hilarious!

Thanks Denny. They just seem to work so well together that’s why I had to bring Lenny back in sock form. Every mental patient needs a talking sock puppet friend
