Thanks very much Nick.
I'd go as far as to say any flat collection needs at least one Mohr figure.

Ah, I see. We do have Google, but it mostly talks about the Alamo, John B. Hood's Texas Brigade, and the Dallas Cowboys.


In keeping with the spirit of the story, a possible caption: 'All right, you three in the front push forward, the four of us in the back will pull in case we have to retreat!'

 ;D The Alamo and John B. Hood's Texas Brigade I find interesting subjects and it only takes the addition of the word "Cheerleader" to make the other one even more interesting.

Shades of Monty Python! Great painting, but I have no idea what's going on. A folk tale? Legend? What's the backstory?
