The Capuchins are Franciscans, so, Capuchin Friars are (by definition) Franciscan Friars. (There are many orders that actually use the title "Franciscan Friars", such as the late Fr. Groeschel's "Franciscan Friars of the Renewal", which is also a Capuchin Franciscan order, while other Franciscan Friars orders do not use that official appellation in their organization name.)

But I agree that the FF guy in the cartoon does not resemble any of those Franciscan Orders that I could find pictures for. The FF guy's puffy clothes look more like something the Swiss Guard might wear, but the hat doesn't match. (Of course, to be grudgingly honest, the USCCB guy doesn't resemble any of the USCCB bishops either, though they may be figuratively acting like that.)       :-)

But I have to admit that my guess is pretty far-fetched, so I'm sure you're likely right about that. I'm still stumped about it -- maybe someone else who knows will post the answer to that here.

The Cardinal pictured is, IMVVHHO, a dead ringer for USCCB pres. Daniel DiNardo.
