"Which it really was"... I ~think~... therefore, I am - I think...

I thought maybe the Pope was saying something to Martin, but it's more of a look of shock... mouth agape...

The underline is the thread title. "How it really was."

The words by the small man is given above the picture. "Trick or treat!"

Translation complete.

Yesterday was holiday in Germany, Luthers reformation. Don't know to what extent it is holiday in your other countries as well.

Having read the book "Here I Stand", I do understand the cartoon. The book, a little heavy at times, was a good read, he actually called the Pope "The Antichrist", so I do understand the cartoon. Yes I am a Lutheran.

Germans funny?

I don't get it, maybe I should move to Germany to study German comedy.

Thats why German jokes always gets delivered with an instruction sheet: the cartoon makes the whole Protestant reformation caused by Luther (when nailing his pope-challenging thesis on that church door back then) look like being a consequence of a Halloween trick , because little Luther when he was a boy did not get some candy.

They hadn't invented "German Chocolate" yet, so there wasn't anything suitable to give him...

Way over my head I'm afraid

The reformation started by Luther hammering his thesis paper on the doors of some church in Wittenberg. It ended in a blow delivered to the pope's church and a split of the church, with Protestantism forming up and revolting against the dominance of papal Catholicism.

The cartoon now shows a young boy wearing a halloween mask, but with the hairstyle and the coat that Luther typically is being depicted with in arts and paintings. The boy holds a paper (the thesis paper) and threatens the pope: "trick or treat!"

Obviously the pope refused to give treats, so a trick was played on him, by nailing the thesis paper on the church door instead.

The historical results of this trick are known, and were monumental, kind of. A splitting of the church, it was. Only because the pope gave no candies. A triviality causing a huge outcome. That is considered to be funny, guys. FU-NNY. So will you now laugh, yes, everybody?

Whats wrong with you guys?

I spilled my cacao almost on the table when stumbling over this cartoon, that much I had to laugh. Is Protestantism unknown outside Germany? Or where the Lutherian bible came from - nobody never heard of it, ever?

Luther, anyone?

Man, I feel like this crazy guy on the radio in Fallout 4...
