doodles 1: blasphemy

[egypturnash]

These are from a week or two ago. The Mad Trip to Hollywood made me forget about these.


This one was done with help from Ashy. I mostly included it because of the figure on the right, the first appearance of my new hit series...




It is never explained why the Pope is a monkey, of course. He just is. He's not a special talking monkey, he's just this monkey. He screeches, he humps things, he throws poop at things he's afraid of. And the Evil Cardinals try to bend this into Dire Pronnouncements of Christian Wisdom. Or something like that.

There's something about kids who show up and save Monkeypope, too. I forget now.

Ashy is responsible for a lot of the Monkeypope ideas.

Monkeypope led into more blasphemy...




So, like, it's Jesus, as, like, a kind of gritty low-rent hero. A motorcycle punk. He blows into town, kicks ass, and drifts out again. A wandering ronin who's the Only Begotten Son Of God.

"Where's your god now, Jesus? Huh? Tied up and trapped, who's gonna save you? Where's your God?"
"He's under that rock. He's in the trees. He's in the air. And... he's in me." [Jesus vomits forth the ectoplasmic terror that is the Holy Ghost, who kicks ass for a while.]

Ashy and Jon had a lot to do with this one.

There are these kids who hang around who are Monkeypope's friends. They don't have any special job nor association with the Church, they're just some kids, who have the run of the Vatican for no reason. And they protect him from the Bad Cardinal, who of course wants to be Pope. Probably because the Pope has a better toilet than he does, so it especially galls him that Monkeypope has no toilet training and that the Holy Commode is therefore wasted on him. I just made up that part now! Pitch it!
