5. not sure i get the reference.

is that royalty, weaponry, and clergy aligned against the common people as representative of Zinn's perspective on history, or am i missing something?

[mike_c]

8. one pawn steps forward to confront the ruling class....

RIP, Dr. Zinn. :cry:

[TroglodyteScholar]

23. I think that sums it up. n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. I see knights,bishops, rooks against pawns,

but not sure I understand the frame of reference, either.

[asdjrocky]

13. The people as pawns.

And they are going to make their move against the powers that be.

I love it.

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. Duh......yes...I see.

Need more cawfee...............

thanks.

[asdjrocky]

18. Np.

It took me a few, and another cup to figure it out.

Next time I don't get something, you help me out. Fair enough?

[TroglodyteScholar]

24. Don't forget the kings and queens n/t

[mike_c]

7. that is AWESOME....

And intelligent, too!

9. If you actually played that scenario out, the ruling class would have to sacrifice a lot to win

[Warpy]

11. Exactly, and the win is never assured.

The real picture would have been the chessboard of pawns lined up against one row of royalty.

But this toon, like all Fish toons, is the stuff of genius.

[asdjrocky]

14. It could not be more perfect. Thank you.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. I disagree. The pawn should have made a 2-square start. EDIT: no, it'd be defenseless. D'oh. -nt
