sanctum
Original: sanctum on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Main comic (single panel):
Setting: The interior of an ornate cathedral-like hall, viewed from above. Several robed clergymen stand on a raised platform, raising their arms in alarm. In the foreground, a man in a red robe with a cross emblem on his chest swoops in flying, like a superhero or like Indiana Jones rappelling/diving in.
Clergyman 1: "Reverte!"
Clergyman 2: "Reverte!"
Clergyman 3 (holding up a golden vessel/relic): "Illud est propugnaculum sanctum!"
Caption (below panel): There should be a reverse Indiana Jones film where a South American tribe sneaks into the Vatican to steal holy relics.
Votey:
A simply-drawn skull-like figure looks at a small cross/grave marker on the ground beside it.
Figure (thought/speech): "Wonder what this thing is anyway..."

Main comic: A single overhead panel shows the ornate interior of a cathedral or Vatican hall. A man in a red robe with a white cross on his chest flies/dives in from the lower left like an action hero. On a raised platform, several robed clergymen throw up their arms in alarm, shouting in Latin: "Reverte!" "Reverte!" and, from one holding up a golden relic, "Illud est propugnaculum sanctum!" The caption below reads: "There should be a reverse Indiana Jones film where a South American tribe sneaks into the Vatican to steal holy relics." The joke flips the usual Indiana Jones premise. Votey: A crude black-and-white drawing of a skull-headed figure crouching beside a small cross-shaped grave marker on the ground, musing, "Wonder what this thing is anyway..."
