That's a good one, jc! Do you happen to know when it was published? I would guess it was before the break up of the Soviet Union since we don't hear that slogan any more.

This is from this week's Time magazine. I do apologize for the political content, but it is kind of funny: Have great weekends, y'all. LMC

I don't have the cartoon anymore, but it is a takeoff on Paxson's Last Stand painting, the caption being:
I DON'T KNOW, TOM; THEY SEEMED TO BE OKAY AT THE DANCE LAST NIGHT!!!

Billy:
A belated note - it wasn't the Hussars who rode into purgatory at Waterloo, it was the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards [then known as the Scots Greys], under Ponsonby. The Light Cavalry, under Vivian and Vandeleur, successfully charged towards the end of the battle and drove their opposition in wild flight, contributing to the chaos in the French Army.
The Greys made the mistake of charging an unbroken line of infantry supported by artillery and lancers and heavy cavalry, much the same as the Light Brigade did at Balaclava, and paid the price for it - although they did capture a French Eagle standard, a feat which is commemorated by a solid silver sculpture in their Officers Mess.

Diane, I do like your latest addition but as the newspapers this side of the Pond never have any Custer Funnies, I can but wax lyrical myself:-
There once was a General named Custer, Whose life started losing its luster, When Libbie said 'Dear I prefer Captain Weir, 'Cos your potency doesn't pass muster'
With apologies to Edward Lear.

But there you go, starting those nasty Weir rumors again.

It's a shame so many of the cartoons posted have been lost in cyberspace. . . . Here's one I found recently. I have no idea how old it is or who drew it. Judging from the obituaries on the back, I believe it was clipped from a newspaper around Dayton, Ohio.
