English: CELE DIN URMA ACTE ALE ANTICEI COMEDII ('THE VERY LAST ACTS OF THE ANCIENT COMEDY'), anti-Catholic, anti-Protestant and anti-conservative cartoon published in the Romanian liberal magazine Ghimpele. Emerging from a cave (marked 'A Society Dei Gratia for the Exploitation of the Peoples'): Pope Pius IX, a half-dragon, armed with a sharpened patriarchal cross; Austro-Hungarian Emperor Francis Joseph, gun in hand; Russian Emperor Alexander II, holding up a spear; German Emperor Wilhelm I; other monarchs; a pastor, wearing a variety of the Saturno hat. The group is attacked by proletarians, armed with their tools. At their head, raising his hammer to strike Pope Pius, is a figure marked 'The International'. Its weapon, a hammer, reads 'Progress'. The Pope is defending himself with a shield, upon which is written a biblical quotation: 'Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's' (Matthew 22:21). The cartoon was published with a slogan: Pasĕri ale nopţiĭ d̦ioa a sositŭ / Intraţi iarŭ in nópte de unde aţĭ eşitŭ !..
