William Fail.

William is going to have a story to tell now

I fore see a zap in the bird’s future.

Oops, too late.

You mean “Dead duck!”

William Tell, the first hundred kids

Nothing like the smell of burnt buzzard in the morning…

Buzzard for Christmas dinner anyone? Yip yip yip yip yip

Does he expect a duck to swoop in and take the arrow?

He is no Robin Hood!

Gasp!

Duck? Pretty soon the buzzard’s goose will be cooked.

How in the world did he talk her into this?

“Stop making your eyes look like targets!”

➳ (◎ ̯ ʖ ◎)

William Tell actually used a crossbow.

Fast.. duck fast enough and it could still be a perfect shot. If not, well you didn’t duck fast enough.

No duck. Dead vulture.

SINCE WHEN DID HE BECOME THE WITCH HUNTER?

QUICK!!!

Er, Auntie doesn’t have an adams apple.

He thought that was Witch Hazel…

Ah yes, the incident that gave rise to that famous song….

What am I doin’ here?

Please Mr. Custer, I don’t want to go

Hey, Mr. Custer, please don’t make me go

I had a dream last night about the comin’ fight

Somebody yelled “attack!”

And there I stood with a arrow in my back.

Please Mr. Custer, I don’t want to go (forward ho!) aw

Look at them bushes out there

They’re moving and there’s a injun behind every one

Hey, Mr. Custer-you mind if I be excused the rest of the afternoon?

Hey charlie, duck yer head!

Hm, you’re a little bit late on that one, charlie

Ooh, I bet that smarts!

What am I doin’ here?

Please Mr. Custer, I don’t want to go

Listen, Mr. Custer, please don’t make me go

There’s a redskin a-waitin’ out there, just fixin’ to take my hair

A coward I’ve been called ‘cause I don’t want to wind up dead or bald

Please Mr. Custer, I don’t want to go (forward ho) aw

I wonder what the injun word for friend is

Let’s see friend kemo sabe, that’s it

Kemo sabe!

Hey out there, kemo sabe!

Nope, that itn’t it

Look at them out there

They’re runnin’ around like a bunch of wild Indians

Heh, heh, heh

Nah, this ain’t no time for jokin’

William Tell he is not…..

Uh-oh. I thought the popular wisdom was that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. That doesn’t seem to be the case here….

The G@L0rd is going to find out the arrow of his ways!

Broomie might not be suffering slings, but she’s surely going to suffer an arrow!
