Have you ever gotten into a fight with someone that involved a lot of swinging and yelling but very little physical contact? You were probably quite young and inexperienced in the way of the melee, like a pawn swinging wildly for the sake of someone else's entertainment.
Pawns are forgiven for their lack of fighting skills, but when a big bad bishop steps up and attacks a pawn we expect their quadridirectional combat abilities to prevail.
But, as this Chilikto comic shows us, when a bishop slides up next to a pawn they end up looking like just another pawn in a stalemated game.

Liturgical colors are quite confused; I tried to find a definitive set for a church Web site once, but all the references were full of such disclaimers as "some churches use", "traditionally", "if purple is used", and so forth. So I just asked the pastor, who gave me a list, and if anyone ever complains I'll just refer them to him.
