Panel 1:
A man (a priest in a black robe) stands beside the Pope (in mitre and purple vestments, holding a tall gold staff topped with a cross). Behind them, mounted on a wall, is a green-toned painting of Adam and Eve.
Man: "I know it'd go against our modern sensibilities, but Eden is supposed to be a place of perfect joy. Why would Adam and Eve walk around with FIG LEAVES stuck to their crotches?"
Caption (below panel): I narrowly managed to convince the Pope to repaint the Vatican with marijuana leaves.
Votey:
Close-up of the Pope (in his mitre with a cross) and the man.
Pope: "Is that one-"
Man: "Wrapped in bacon, yes."

A man in a black priest's robe stands next to the Pope, who wears a mitre and purple vestments and holds a tall gold cross-topped staff. On the wall behind them hangs a green-tinted painting of Adam and Eve. The man argues: 'I know it'd go against our modern sensibilities, but Eden is supposed to be a place of perfect joy. Why would Adam and Eve walk around with FIG LEAVES stuck to their crotches?' The caption below reads: 'I narrowly managed to convince the Pope to repaint the Vatican with marijuana leaves.' The joke: he's slyly persuaded the Pope to swap the censoring fig leaves in religious art for cannabis leaves. Votey (aftercomic): a rough black-and-white close-up of the Pope and the man. The Pope begins, 'Is that one-' and the man finishes, 'Wrapped in bacon, yes.'
