…..and Robin Hood.

Claim Swiss neutrality.

cute kid!!!

Must be a modernized retelling.

And they questioned William sharply.

The nearest insurance company’s sales rep.

Hell, you can hardly raise your voice to a kid in some states without DCF/DCYP/CPS being called. And I’m (sadly) not exaggerating.

Does make one wonder, though, if the Flying Wallendas ever had to deal with similar issues.

Funny! I had to laugh out loud at this one.

I thought it was the Zurich Times?

More likely his wife…with a rolling pin in hand.

“You have the right to remain silent …”

little known fact: William and his family were very much into ten pins…but what is unknown is the team name….so ask not for whom the Tells bowled  

Per Aegidius Tschudi, who apparently introduced the name “William” some 250 years after the event, it would be Albrecht Gessler, newly appointed Vogt (reeve (sheriff or king’s man)). The question was why Tell drew two bolts from his quiver. The answer was to kill Gessler if Tell’s son died in the attempt.

Time Magazine had an exclusive on the story. Only Time, Will Tell.

The question on Skyler’s test is moot, as William Tell was only a legend. There is no evidence of his actual existence.

An excellent comic today. Funny.

The same folks who interviewed Abraham following his abandoned (???) attempt to murder Isaac. Oddly, in Genesis 22:19, Abraham returns from the mountain WITHOUT Isaac. If Isaac did survive, who can blame him if he lagged some distance behind his dad?

Very clever comic.

Nah, if you actually know the legend, it isn’t William Tell who would be interviewed by Child Protective Services. Albrecht Gessler was a tyrannical despot who Tell despised. When Gessler passed by the townsfolk were required to bow. Tell, while in town with his son, refused to bow, so Gessler, intrigued by Tell’s reputation as a marksman with the crossbow, ordered Tell and his son to both be executed. However, they would be spared if Tell could shoot an apple off his son’s head in a single attempt.

Of course, Tell did so successfully, then whirled, loaded another arrow, shot and killed the despotic tyrant and was immediately hailed by the now-liberated townsfolk.

Oh yeah, Gessler couldn’t be interviewed. He’s dead.
