Shakespeare’s Richard III is just Tudor propaganda! Great play, yes, but about as accurate as any other ‘based on a true story’ work. Furthermore, even if we accept that yes, Richard III did have his nephews killed, what makes that worse than Henry VII and Henry VII’s killing of something like 50,000? For a good look at the Ricardian view of Richard III as the most unjustly vilified man in English history, read Josephine Tey’s book “The Daughter of Time.”
DIck & Harry were all the equivalend of Mafia Bosses. Who is the truest legitimatest leader of the largest crime family? Thank God for George Washington.
Hamlet holding Yorick’s skull and saying the line is one of the most recognizable images from any Shakespeare play (rivaled only perhaps by Romeo and Juliet and a balcony), and it’s singularly appropriate for the topic. So lighten up (“Cast thy nighted color off”). The play (of images) is the thing, and the King is a thing…of nothing.
In the middle of a great battle, King Richard has lost his horse and finds himself afoot. In desperation, he cries out, ’A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
According to veteran Ohio cartoonist Stahler, the most satisfying part of his job is "those days when I can load my ink cannon with fodder faster than I can fire it."

More than likely they’ll find his mummy.

Alas poor Yorick, I knew him not. As for people who “disappear”, they become sausage for pizza.

He probably got the reputation because of his scoliosis. Peeps weren’t terrifically tolerant of the differently baled in those days

Cartoonistic license.

I thought Stahler might have used a horse skull in the cartoon.

Radish: “I thought Stahler might have used a horse skull in the cartoon.”
Thus establishing Camilla as the rightful heir?
