Wow! There sure are a lotta dates in this text story. For weeks I read comic book text stories and no dates. Today: nuthin' but dates! But don't worry: I shall not post this story a second, third, or even ninth time just because the day's date is in it. Bully knows when your patience can be stretched too thin. I will post other comics panels on March 6, the anniversary of the conclusion of the Alamo siege. And, in the meantime, here's s'more February 23rd Alamo stuff for ya! Yes, readers prefer Bully, because Bully provides more!
