    The Cadillac Lounge? Go straight and then turn right at the corner. You can’t miss it.

    I can’t Topp Steve’s caption today. Will think about it for a while to try to come up with something fractionally as good.

    Why are you all going that way, the battlefield is this way?

    What had been a simple over the shoulder portrait became so much more by adding the right arm. Now it’s a meaningful moment!

    “And now for something completely different!”……..this so reminds me of something Monty Python would have used in their opening segment.

    “Jerusalem lies ahead !”/

    Bold Raymond of Toulouse said./

    “Where I will amount/

    To much more than a Count/

    I’ll be King – or else I’ll be dead.”/

    But, much to bold Raymond’s dismay/

    Count Bohemond stood in his way/

    And Godfrey of Boulogne/

    Who was far better known/

    Was a cause for further delay..///

    Though of many Crusaders the boss/

    Raymond suffered through loss after loss/

    (Including one eye/

    Though it’s not certain why)/

    Like so many who’d “taken the cross”.///

    Thus, thwarted at every turn/

    ( as I’m sure you’ll be sorry to learn)/

    Though he thought it was vital/

    To improve on his title/

    That Kingship he never did earn.

    Fantastic. Classic phallic portraiture and pull my finger all on one card.

    Raymond’s crown had been improperly sized and would constantly slide off of his head. I guess you could say it was….

    Raymond IV of Toulouse

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Portraits of famous Crusaders (series commissioned by Louis Philippe I - Versailles)" site=commons.wikimedia.org 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, 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 Raymond, and click its link for info and links that point to more info (perhaps best viewed using Google Chrome, which can automatically translate most webpages if necessary) about this painting. File history has the strip coloration image.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #950 (December 6, 2013) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval, may take days while he’s away) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, only by him used here (2 times total, including this repeat), the March 12, 2014, strip being its first use. GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the new lines in my comment there; but, perhaps the text remains informative.
