Mike Peterson over at the Daily Cartoonist linked to me twice over the weekend — many thanks, Mike! — the first to disagree somewhat with last week's cartoon of Harrison Butker's commencement address.
I think Mike's disagreement might have been that I lump all Catholics into one basket. I do realize that there are Francis Catholics and Benedict Catholics and never-accepted-Vatican-II Catholics and lapsed Catholics and recovering Catholics, but there wasn't much room for that distinction in the cartoon. There isn't much mystery as to which camp the Powers That Be at Benedictine College in ruby-red Kansas are in.
The various flavors of Catholicism were beside the point of the essay I wrote to accompany it; but point taken.
More amusing to me was some censorbot's decision at Bluesky that my retrospective a couple Saturdays ago which included versions of "The Kiss" by Klimt, Munch, and Rodin, was too risqué. Or perhaps it was as offended by its final panel of Michael Sam and his boyfriend smooching as the Karen in the cartoon trying to cover it up.
I can almost imagine some 14-year-old Bluesky user (yeah, right) clicking on the "Adult Content" warning thinking that there must be porn behind it.
