A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: a bearded, long-haired man in a white robe (Jesus) argues with an older figure dressed in a purple robe and a pointed yellow bishop's mitre. The bishop asks, 'But, I mean... do you really need?' Jesus insists, 'Listen, they didn't have that title when I was around. And don't say I don't deserve it!' The caption below reads: 'That afternoon, he became Saint Jesus.' The joke is Jesus negotiating to be granted sainthood. Votey (a smaller, rougher black-and-white aftercomic): a person stands before a man seated at a desk who says, 'I'm sorry, but you'll have to go through med school first, Baron Sensei Saint Jesus.' Jesus has piled up so many honorific titles that they now precede his name, but a doctorate still requires med school.
