Ides of March in history and cartoons

Today being the Ides of March, here's some history from the History Orb and a few cartoons (the 5th of March has funnier cartoons at TheWeek; why it that?).

Yesterday a new Pope, who will be known as Pope Francis, was elected.  Here's Daryl Cagle's image of  "His Argentinean Holiness:"

David Horsey may or may not have actually taken a survey of gun owners, but he makes an interesting point in "Weapon Hoarders."

The remainder of my selection for today is, of course, about the budget/sequester.
