Full view highly recommended! (but only because it's easier to read the text that way)
My submission for the Iconographophobia Halloween contest.
I was trying to avoid doing some homework one night and decided to check my dA gallery messages, and found the list of Halloween art contests. The Phobia contest in particular piqued my interest, so I looked up a list of all existing phobias. While many were quite amusing (I highly recommend checking them out if you're bored and need to kill about 20 minutes), this one, along with walloonophobia, struck me as particularly absurd, so I decided to sketch it out. I have a couple of other phobia ideas knocking about in my head that I might sketch out for Scraps later.
Papaphobia is, as noted on the image, an irrational fear of the Pope. I can only imagine it would be rather embarrassing to display this phobia in public (bahaha).

edit: found a few blotches that I somehow failed to clean up. Duly cleaned them up.
I'd just like to let you know that I really like this picture! I'm using it in a school project of mine, and I hope you're okay with that because I'm not about to wait for you to reply to this comment to make sure (since the project is due in 4 days HOORAY)!
After all, the guy's ignorance level, ITS OVER 9000!!!.
