Padre Pio

Memorial to Saint Padre Pio

Click to view larger image. Largest.

For today's Memorial of St. Padre Pio. My original idea for this drawing was to show both the younger and older eyes of Saint Padre Pio. I stopped at the younger eyes, as they seemed to make for an effective image on their own.

Thanks to Amy for the post of an earlier version of the Sister Leonella Sgorbati portrait on her Another Catholic Mom. Thanks to Christine for doing the same at her Domestic Vocation. I'm grateful to Alan Keyes' Renew America for these recent posts; the Three Cheers-Stop The ACLU toon, the post of the Smoke Free/Prayer Free toon, and a link to the Die Academicus toon and commentary. There's a post of an older Archbishop Flynn/Cardinal Arinze toon somewhere on this Swedish Kardinal Dante-Sällskapet / Cor Unum (-for hangivna papister only) forum. Thanks to justme for the 'unique prayer cartoons' posts and plug on his funniest-cartoon blogspot site. Someone borrowed one of my tulip garden pics for a mass e-mailing; adding a tagline to the bottom of the photo crediting the photographer hasn't prevented it from appearing on this Islamic site. Found this album of older cartoons on the German MSN Groups Muziekkamp posted by superjan ( Faithmouse is supercool !! zie meer op www.faithmouse.com.) A little belated, but Dank und Gott segnen!! As for that Die Academicus toon, Twiddledee at his LiveJournal site makes the mistake of posting a link to the address for the regularly updating image and asks 'what the **** does this comic mean?'
