The Pope to Cholera: “You go to Spain, and since they don’t want to listen to me, let’s see if they will pay more attention to you.”
(La Campana de Gracia, Barcelona, 1910)

The Pope on a Vatican spire is not so odd once you’ve seen this cartoon of the first radio transmitter installed in the Vatican. (L’Asino, Rome, 1908)
