Religion - in two panels

This is from a story about some teenagers looking for gold out west. Divine intervention is needed for selfish needs. Who better to call on than Our Lady? Yes, she really thinks she is going to have a little talk with Her.

Almost every Catholic Church has one of these. A special nook with a statue of Mary and rows of votive candles. A small donation is expected of you if you want to light one up.

just to get Beatles history right. Paul was talking about his mother, her name was Mary, who came to him in a dream. Not Mary, Jesus' mom.

It was Mal Evans, their road manager, who inspired the song. Paul changed it for obvious reasons.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Fred MacMurray comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be, Chip, let it be.

a dream about his mom.

Mal Evens inspired Sgt. Peppers, when, on a flight he asked for the salt and pepper and Paul heard "Sargent Pepper"

Or did I just miss your joke?

Not the reference I remember, but good research.

https://theymaybeparted.com/tag/mal-evans/

“She,” of course, is Mother Mary, who presumably was in the very original lyric sourced from Paul’s dream about his mother but was absent in the 1968 early attempt. That featured “Brother Malcolm,” a nod to do-it-all assistant Mal Evans. The reference to Mal was inconsistent over January 1969 but endured to the very end of the sessions.
