A glimpse into the past: Old Mother Teresa in Visual 101

A black-and-white comic strip titled 'OLD MOTHER TERESA "THE SCREAM OF THE CALCUTTA SLUMS"' depicts a satirical, exaggerated portrayal of Mother Teresa in a mission hospital. She is shown confiscating medicine, replacing it with prayer books, and using a 'medicine van' that delivers communion wine instead of painkillers. Patients are shown in dire straits, and a character named Miss Hallwell arrives to 'polish up' the religious knick-knacks. The comic uses absurdity to critique religious hypocrisy and the misuse of charitable resources.
