The Da Vinci Jokes: La Bella Lavanderina

Description

And here it is, Episode 2 of the Da Vinci Jokes! ("La Bella Lavanderina" means "The Beautiful Laundress")

This was very, really hard for me, considering I'm not such a good cartoonist, and I had to do hundreds of Ezio sketches before finally doing him well in his Brotherhood outfit - the final sketch indeed is what some of you have seen here [link] .

You may know it or not, but last month, in Roma, there were some snow-related problems, and the city was blocked for a few days. So, this is also for the Roman people - and for the people in other towns who had a far worse situation.

As usual, here's the original joke:
A woman was washing clothes, and she had her feet red for the cold, and passing by her, a priest asked her why was she so red; the woman answered him it was so because she had fire under her. Then the priest laid a hand on that limb which had made him priest and not nun, and getting close to her, he kindly asked her to light his candle.

I know the final vignette is blurry, I couldn't help it, and even if I could have I didn't want to keep you waiting still for long, also because classes at university have restarted and I'm already sketching for Episode 3, "Philosophy for Morons", with Cesare and Giovanni Borgia as guest stars!
As always thanks to :iconjade-hernandez: for giving me the initial inspiration, to :iconmeeve: for giving me credit after asking my question about... Da Vinci Jokes, yeah! (Our Q&A here [link] )
Oh and to :iconbenthagamer: for... scarf pattern advice!

And last but not the least, to Leonardo, who wrote the jokes!

wait, so does it mean that this story of the laundress and the priest was a joke invented by Leonardo?
