Pontiff-icating

So, lots of talk about the new Pope (and am I the only one who misread his name as "Ratzenberger" and thought he'd be a master of useless trivia?), but how about the unreal ones?

[Poll #478028]

And yeah, I know there have been plenty of other fictional ones. But these are the Popes who are most likely to be able to kick ass and take names, so I picked them.

As if there's any competition!

*phew* I thought I was the only one who called him Ratzenberger today. Luckily the person I was talking too couldn't remember his name either and we were able to agree that it was "something like that...yeah..."

that's what I kept thinking it was. Pope Claven the 1st anyone?

Apparently you've never read Battle Pope. (http://www.funkotron.com/battlepope/)

I like Futurama Space Pope because he is reptilian!

Cerebus versus Space Pope. Don't ask me such questions. Neither can be chosen over the other.

Not familiar with the other one.

God, I love your icon. It's from East of the Sun, West of the Moon, right? I had a whole collection of books illustrated by that artist when I was young.

[bheansidhe.livejournal.com]

Yes, indeedy!

I was typing a commment and couldn't remember his name and so wrote Ratzenberger.

Someone already cracked the joke that the press is calling him Papa Razzi.

Just In from the BBC...this new Pope might be a tough one...

I was just responding to someone's comment in my journal about when someone would do that... heh...

The Space Pope wins because of that weird little ditty after the "DON'T DATE ROBOTS" movie.

As one of those who dropped Cerebus because of content and author and tendencies of both (and since I haven't yet encountered American Flagg!) that seemed the best choice!

The pope with the voice of Frank Zappa - Ren & Stimpy =P

Is it just me, or do you get the urge to call this new guy The Epop as well?

So what? He's just another bloke in a nightie who I won't be listening to.
Tragic for the Third World I guess, but hey, that's superstition for you.
