Escapees from Medieval Times?

An anachronism (from the Greek ἀνά ana, ‘against’ and χρόνος khronos, ‘time’) is a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of persons, events, objects, or customs from different periods. The most common type of anachronism is an object misplaced in time, but it may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material, a plant or animal, a custom, or anything else associated with a particular period that is placed outside its proper temporal domain.

Them’s fightin’ words, varlet!

Not sure I can judge this one because I live not far from the Renaissance Faire.

This looks like one of the season finales of LEGENDS OF TOMORROW. All we need is Beebo.

Leave them alone.

They are both left handed.

Coming soon one of Jean Reno characters .

If it is high noon in Arizona, both the horse and the knight could overheat with all that stuff on. The guy on the ground should tell a long-winded story.

Now all we need is a shootout with Little Green Men from Area 51 ! ;)

Which one has the wristwatch and which has the cell phone?

Booze! The fast fwd tab of Darwin Awards. Cheers.

The horseman should be in motion. Stationary cavalry are really just targets.

Well, for a start, it’s only a one horse town.

Really, this is joust too much!

Westworld in a single panel. Brilliant!

My money is on the Roman Centurion. Better defence and much more agile.

I’m waiting for the undertaker to run out with his tape measure!

Surely they joust.

Very up-to-date town. There’s a spittoon next to the hitch rail for casual spitters and horses that slobber.

Westworld comes to mind.

Having a good knight at high noon?

I like.

I’ve always loved those “Short swords and spaceship” science fiction stories.

nope my group includes both era’s….

We’re all different, just like everyone else.

Brought to mind “A Knight’s Tale” — the movie, not Chaucer’s (although the Canterbury Tales would also be a good read).

I expect the civil war re-enactors are around the corner waiting for their turn.

It was one of those “Here, hold my mead.” type of things

At least it appears to be a “two-horse” town.

After a few drinks I couldn’t even even pronounce “anachronisms”.

“I bet my money on the Hoplite Spear / Somebody bet on the Steed.” With apologies to Camptown Races by Stephen Foster (1850).

Better tell old Hank over at the blacksmith shop to get ‘er fired up. He’s gonna be busy.

I’ve always wondered when time travel became a cognitive thing.

Showdown when the dial hits the tip of VII!

Who knew a SCA event would break out at a SAA competition!
