That hat is called a Kewpi and the union army wore them too
However it would be unusual for a Mounted trooper to be wearing one as it is an infantry hat.
Calvary units on both sides wore slouch hats which are much better if your riding in the rain.
I wonder if thats the latest issues of undead bunnies he’s reading ?

Ahh so now I know what a Petard is… cool
So basically what Hamlet was saying was:
One o dese days guys .. one o dese days POW BOOOM tA da MOON !!!!
Amazing how popular culture stays the same over the centuries .. I never imagined Hamlet as an Elizabethan episode of the Honeymooners lol..
Hamlet - Horatio.. you are a mental case ! Horatio - Scheese what a grouch !

I notice that the sword missed all the vital organs; was that intentional or not?
tedcoop about 14 years ago
Alimentary, my dear Watson – Lio hasn’t a malicious bone in his body. The plan was carried out exactly to his intent.

So we see that goodness will always triumph over annoying babies. I love how happy and self-satisfied Lio looks in the last panel.

Kewpie as in Kewpie Doll? IIRC, it’s a Kepi, from the same root as ‘Cap’.
