This is another example of development. (Keep in mind it was done in 1959 when homosexuality was still something seldom spoken of. In fact, The Kid was not even consciously addressing the issue. The Kid just thought it would be funny to have two priests acting like school girls in love. In 1958, Pope Pius XII died and Pope John XXIII came Pontiff. Pope John began making a number changes and at the time the Catholic Church was questioning and changing their stand on a number of issues, which is why the cartoon was drawn with the caption, "Look's like another problem for the Pope.)
Created 1947- 1968 by LARRY EUGENE MEREDITH aka The Kid
