This is just a quick afterthought, but I felt it would help explain the comic a little better.
I decided to depict Mel Gibson as Ned Flanders-level religious co-dependent because it seemed to make sense in the context of the interviews Mel has been giving lately. Keep in mind this is a man who stated in interviews that he felt his Episcopalian wife would be going to hell – even though he admitted she’s much more pious than he.
Reading stuff like that made me think Gibson couldn’t pinch a loaf without getting approval from the Vatican first…
