    Back at ya Bidenchenko. Hmmmmm. … where have I seen a similar situation … Oh, now I remember … “Now listen to me, all of you. You are all condemned men.

    • Cartoon by ( the name will come to me after I post this – fellow known for his cow tools): Line drawing of bedraggled, exhausted prisoners chained to their oars, momentarily slumped with heads down, overseen by guard with whip, except one prisoner with raised head and bright eyes and finger raised high – saying, “Oh YooHoo! I think I have a blister!”

      Dunno why but your post triggered this recall. Ah, recalled the cartoonist’s name as Larson, popular in the seventies and eighties in daily newspapers of the time.
