Enthroned Madonna

Detailed of an illuminated manuscript in the Cologne Cathedral Library
Here we have squiggly brow Mary and alleged baby Jesus (yeah, so his hands and feet are bigger than his head...)
This Squishy is totally the kid who spends high school art class making ceramic bongs and takes shop class all four years.

The Visitation of Virgin Mary to Elizabeth
The Visitation of Virgin Mary to Elizabeth
Detail of a 14th century wall-painting in the Timios Stavros Church in Pelendri, Cyprus
This is a first for the Squishy Jesus Taxonomy: Baby St. Jesus and St. John as fetuses! The little guys may be unborn, but they still have halos.
St. John isn't looking so hot--do you think he's bowing before Squishy or keeling over?
Mary and Elizabeth remind us of just how difficult it is to hug without smashing halos together.

By Benvenuto di Giovanni

SQUISHY: You people are supposed to adore me, and most importantly, give me gifts. Stop slobbering all over my foot--it is vile.
KING (in blue tunic to the right): Why is everyone looking at that boring pale baby. Hello people?!? Check me out over here in this stylin' look. Girl, I have a master's degree in fierce.
