Donald R. McClarey

A joyous pope?
“How do I act humble today?”
I might give the caption a miss and go for an observation: He looks tired. He looks unwell. And he looks like he is over it.
When the waiter hands you your restaurant order and says:
“Enjoy, it’s a family tradition.”
“Hmmm … Maybe I should change the catechism to allow the death penalty for those no-good kids that keep playing on my lawn …”
“My Way or the Highway.”
That look when they have the faith and you only have the buildings
A Mr. Christ is here to see you. And He looks mad.
How many times do I have to tell you? I don’t care if it’s traditional to have the marshmallow stars, moons and four leaf clovers in my Luck Charms…get them out!
The prunes aren’t working!
“Does this hat make me look fat?”
Some people are cut out for the job, some grow into it, some are place sitters, and some are object lessons for the future when it comes to filling a vacancy.
“Be Pope!” they said
“Everybody will love you!” they said
“Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well………….”
A deep contemplation.
The face of a pickled pepper, Pope Joyless
If the late Tex Avery, the animator who created countless cartoons in the 1950s and may be best known for Droopy the Dog were to have made a cartoon about a pontiff, he would have come up with a character looking like Pope My Back/Neck/Knee/Foot Hurts
“The prunes aren’t working!” I like this one the best. A most miserable man
“I think this has been a mistake.”
Will no one rid me of this troublesome American Catholic?
