Strip 389

(Richard and Madrid are sneaking through the Vatican with guns drawn)

DICK                      Okay listen, this is the Vatican, so try to actually stay in character for once.

DICK                      No belching prayers, fondling the statues, or flashing the priests; just try to show a little respect.

MADRID               “Show respect”?  To break in here you used a bowl of holy water to short an electric keypad and a crucifix to pry open a security door.

DICK                      Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

  1. You know, if they want to sneak around, they should hide the guns. Very unpriestlike.

    Better hide Madrid, too

  2. Wouldn’t “hide the guns” cover hiding Madrid..? Oh wait THOSE guns.

  3. Yep, that’s a little respect. A very little respect.

  4. And now comes the part where they meet an enemy spy and choke him, or her, with a rosary.

    What I’m keeping in tune with the theme here.

  5. I was going to get all pedantic *again* (sorry for all the nit-picking) it’d be a ‘font of holy water’, but then it occurred to me that someone like Madrid may well not know the proper terminology and call it a ‘bowl’.

    GOOD JOB!
