The cartoon woman in The Santa Fe Reporter's "Summer Guide 2013" issue is wearing a yellow bikini, along with a blue cloak that covers the top of her head and nothing else. Behind the woman, there are yellow sun rays. She is sipping from a margarita glass. The cover design has angered Catholics because of the woman's uncanny resemblance to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
And the gay cowboy is an insult to all cowboys.
Did you design the cover?
lol!
With all due respect, seriously, I think that this fuss is over-reaching, really.
How do they know what Guadalupe Lady looks like in the first place?
To be fair, they should have had Mohammed in a Speedo.
I remember the first Dick I drew... think it was Nixon lol
Let’s test the bravery of these “artists”.
Do that with Mohammed, sukkahs.
Oh, a bit chicken, are we?
Of course, because youze are liberals.
I claim the similarity to be an intentional slight to the primary population of the area served by the publication. Hispanic Catholics hold the Virgin of Guadelupe in very high regard, Protestant views on the relevance of the Mother of Jesus notwithstanding.
And yet many of the people doing the complaining doubtless pull the Democrat lever at every election.
There is a resemblance. It can’t be denied!
If it were in Manitoba, people probably would not see it, But the symbols surrounding the woman (Full length blue veil, scalloped glowing background, the moon beneath her feet, etc) would be very obvious to people in the Southwest, who see this image all the time. Especially as a prison or gang tattoo.
Come to think of it...why is it OK to use the symbol as a gang tattoo? Would that not also be offensive to Catholic people?
And who wears a helmet and a backpack to drink beer? or PINK Cowboy hats?
That’s pretty bad, and the gay cowboy is, like, totally gay!
BTW, our lady of Guadalupe is the patron saint for the Americas.
Here is a link to the wikipedia entry, which I did not in its entirety.

Whatever one’s doctrine or theology, the fact remains that the “artist” who drew this, the editor that approved it, and the publisher who disseminated it are all very foolish, knowing that they are deliberately mocking a symbol that is very dear to a large segment of their population.
(Incidentally, the “Moon beneath her feet” is taken directly from the Book of Revelation, and has been a part of Catholic iconography for centuries. I interpret the “Woman” in Revelation to be Israel, which would make “The Moon Beneath her feet” symbolic of the eventual DEFEAT of islam Just My Opinion...and hope.)
bkmk
And the cowboy looks like a flaming faggot. The artist must have been channeling "Village People".
If God is offended, he will take action.
The fact that unbelievers will insult the faith is a given.
What are we...muslims?
It’s not “uncanny.” It’s intentional.
