Description Bishop Gardiner from the Tudors, affectionately (PFF!) known as "Odious Toad" by my mom and me. We gave him that nickname a couple viewings ago, and it just stuck. I couldn't resist doing a portrait of him. Even Holbein couldn't beat this!

His colours look kind of frog-like, but I know there are green toads out there. Plus it's easier to determine them by texture, and this crusty bastard is as dry and lumpy as you can get.

Something tells me if you told him his fly is down, he'd look around for an easy meal.

So it wasn't just Bath and Wells that had an infamous bishop.

Now that would have been funny. Sadly he was nothing as unusual as that. I am going ot have to look this baby munching bishop up now...

He's a character from historical sit-com Blackadder II. He's a vicious debt collector with a laundry list of vices, played by one of the bad guys from Raiders of the Lost Arc.

Ah yes the Blackadder series. I had that earmarked for buying but some how lost track of it. Time to go hunting again!

It's probably the hat. And also maybe the dress a little.

Probably because they share a thick layer of slime across every pore.
