IF ...immovable

If you're from Corsica originally, there's not much to like about Moscow in November. Particularly in 1812. Still, if you're a self-declared emperor, braving the cold front is better than returning to France to a chorus of: "J'ai dit ainsi a' vous!" "J'ai dit ainsi a' vous!" "J'ai dit ainsi a' vous!" I wouldn't want to have any bonapart of that either.

    Love the picture. Makes me smile :) But wasn't it 1912?

    Thanks so much, and no... by 1912 even Napoleon the 3rd was dead and gone; France and the rest of Europe were getting all psyched up for World War One --it would have been interesting, however, to see how things would have turned out with Napoleon at the French helm in the 20th century.

    This is very funny, Rick. Napoleon's stature appears even smaller in this snow drift, and you've "captured" his frustration and determination superbly. Viva la caRickature!

    I always love your solutions...and seeing the process. Reminds me I need to ink before color.
