    /// On its hind legs his horse starts to veer,

    but The Charging Chasseur shows no fear.

    Swivels round looking back.

    Flees the foe’s fierce attack,

    charging, in full retreat, to the rear.

    I once saw a version of this painting where the swordsman had just succeeded in cutting off his horse’s tail!

    When you finally realise that it was the horse’s tail that has been tapping you on the back…

    The chap in the shaggy chapeau/

    Is French- as you probably know/

    By his Emp’ror employed/

    To keep Germans annoyed/

    But that was a long time ago…///

    Of the future he has not a clue/

    (He thinks “Blücher is some kind of shoe)/

    But he’d surely be blue/

    If he only knew/

    What happened in World War Two..

    The stallion was fearless in battle, charging headlong into the fray. The only thing that scared the bejesus out of him was that with one slip of the saber, and The Charging Chasseur could turn him into a gelding.

    Horse and soldier came to a sudden stop and looked back to see that they had indeed found Waldo, found him-run him through, and then trampled him.

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string 10.43 MB, and click its link for info and links that point to more info (perhaps best viewed with Google Chrome which can automatically translate most webpages if necessary) about this huge painting. Second Other versions entry has strip coloration image.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #1237 (6/18/15) (March 1, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, only work by this artist used here (2 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat), the June 18, 2015, strip being its first use.
