JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Mary Magdalene is mentioned in the Gospel as someone Jesus saves from demons, after which she's mentioned as a benefactor and ardent follower of His, culminating in her being the first of His disciples to witness His resurrection.  She, a lowly victim of demons, ends up being chosen to bring word of His rising to His apostles. 2. Mary is from the town of Magdala.  Her name, "Mary Magdalene", basically means "Mary of Magdala".  In the final panel of this cartoon, Mary calls herself "Mary of MagDOLLA".  MagDOLLA sounds like Magdala (her hometown), but ends with "dolla" (slang for "dollar" or "money") alluding to the fact that she helps fund Jesus's travels.
