You never quite know what to believe from the things you read online on April 1st. One of the more interesting posts I saw was this one from Jonathan Clements about a new anime series based on the manga, Pretty Petra Pope. The basic idea is pretty simple. There’s a pretty schoolgirl who also happens to be the Pope. She has a gaggle of seven incredibly cute boy cardinals vying for her attention, and she’s threatened by a gang of evil nuns called the Ugly Sisters. Oh, and the Pope has an actual flock of sheep to be shepherd of, and thanks to a divine miracle they can talk.
That’s totally believable, right? I want to believe it. Especially as Jonathan says that the series was originally published in a comic called Weekly Cheryl. Someone make this true, please.
That – is genius.
Weekly Cheryl was indeed named after you.
Then I’d better get on and write some episodes of Pretty Petra Pope I guess.
I hope you do. I can think of nothing I’d rather read just now.
