I don't think I should take credit for reminding about the Miracle that occured in 1914, maybe the author of this Blog perhaps..

The genius of the off-the-wall strip is that it manages to turn the established conventions of the Foreign Legion melodrama upside down. A group of luckless legionnaires live in a fort in the middle of the desert under Commandant Vermin P. Crock, a tyrannical leader who is known to "hang people by their thumbs for the silliest mistakes." Crock chronicles the adventures of Vermin P. Crock and the other characters stationed at their grim desert outpost including the cowardly Captain Poulet, the simple-minded Maggot and camp-follower Grossie. Crock was recently introduced as part of Universal Studios' new theme park, "Islands of Adventure" in Orlando, Florida. Crock's fort is one of the anchors for the park's "Toon Lagoon" attraction, joining other nationally syndicated comics in the three-dimensional displays. Crock is distributed worldwide by King Features Syndicate to more than 200 newspapers worldwide. I found the above in the ..Wise..Google! I like the satire and parody[παρωδία], they make us able to see life in an optimistic way. The pictures above show that anything can become a ... routine. LOVE, Thelma Bill Rechin and Don Wilder
