Taylor Jones draws a sharp contrast in this cartoon, with a pope-like figure in white robes and glasses, hands clasped, delivering the Sermon on the Mount line from Matthew 5:9 about blessed peacemakers being children of God. Beside him stands a blonde-haired man in a suit, halo above, mouth open in response, twisting John 3:16 to claim the Strait of Hormuz as a divine gift, or soon to be, labeled Don 3:16. The piece nods to Catholic Church teachings against a backdrop of Persian Gulf tensions, war in Iran, and oil exports disruptions. It's a dry poke at how leaders bend scripture for geopolitical gains, like controlling the Strait of Hormuz to spike crude prices. Vatican serenity meets brash claims, all in watercolor style on purple background.
