Panel 1:
A man with graying hair, standing beside the Popemobile (labeled "POPEMOBILE") with a man dressed as a priest.
Man with graying hair: I don't get it. If God watches over the Pope, why does he need to be encased in bullet-proof glass?
Priest: It's... complicated...
Panel 2:
Inside the glass-enclosed Popemobile, the Pope (wearing a mitre) fires a gun at a cheering crowd outside. Bullets ricochet off the interior glass.
Pope: Dammit, I hate this thing!
Sound effects: BANG! BANG!
Votey:
A rough black-and-white sketch of the Pope, wearing his mitre, looking strained and frustrated, sweat lines streaking around him, gripping at the glass.

A two-panel comic. Panel 1: A graying-haired man stands beside the glass-enclosed "POPEMOBILE" with a priest. He asks, "I don't get it. If God watches over the Pope, why does he need to be encased in bullet-proof glass?" The priest replies, "It's... complicated..." Panel 2: Inside the glass box, the mitre-wearing Pope fires a gun at a cheering crowd; the bullets ricochet off the surrounding bullet-proof glass (sound effects "BANG! BANG!"). The Pope yells, "Dammit, I hate this thing!" The joke: the bullet-proof glass protects the crowd from the Pope, not the other way around. Votey: a rough black-and-white sketch of the Pope in his mitre, looking strained and sweaty, frustrated at being trapped behind the glass.
