    Not a bad shot with your BB gun, Lio! –Popped all the balloons, brought down the target, right unto the sabre!

    I think he knew exactly what he was doing… they are BOTH very skilled trouble-makers.

    Ahh so now I know what a Petard is… cool

    So basically what Hamlet was saying was:

    One o dese days guys .. one o dese days POW BOOOM tA da MOON !!!!

    Amazing how popular culture stays the same over the centuries .. I never imagined Hamlet as an Elizabethan episode of the Honeymooners lol..

    Hamlet - Horatio.. you are a mental case ! Horatio - Scheese what a grouch !

    I notice that the sword missed all the vital organs; was that intentional or not?

    Alimentary, my dear Watson – Lio hasn’t a malicious bone in his body. The plan was carried out exactly to his intent.

    So we see that goodness will always triumph over annoying babies. I love how happy and self-satisfied Lio looks in the last panel.

    Where is this strip set? That looks like a Confederate hat on the statue.

    That hat is called a Kewpi and the union army wore them too However it would be unusual for a Mounted trooper to be wearing one as it is an infantry hat.

    Calvary units on both sides wore slouch hats which are much better if your riding in the rain.

    I wonder if thats the latest issues of undead bunnies he’s reading ?

    Kewpie as in Kewpie Doll? IIRC, it’s a Kepi, from the same root as ‘Cap’.
