vel let's go right past beetle bailey on the first page turn over to page two and here on page three is prince valiant in the days of king arthur magic wits for the music very well my lady heck it break it gray malkin and quince music romantic for a fair fair prince on a mission for his father prince val has come to ireland the land of brave and hardy fighting men val had met brian o curry a leader of one of the bravest clans in ireland and on their way through the countryside val and brian o curry had encountered the forces of sudden of wexford the clans of the two men engage in a big fight all day it had lasted until finally a monk called patrick has appeared and stopped the bloody fight saying let your leaders bear the honor of your clan and decide the issue so the two leaders square off against each other with swords and shields and then the duel begins the great strength of brian o curry is pitted against the shrewd corrosive of sudden of wexford and mightily they fight last picture top row the sudden turf turns to mud under their feet as they struggle endlessly and then the sword of brian bites deeply into the helmet of sudden and first picture second row he falls

says to val how come surveillance spend a night in my pavilion when enemies become friends and she meant their friendship with mead that is little chance for sleep the idea of tactics to make the leaders do the fighting so do i lots of lives were saved that way and anyway i think that if two leaders cause trouble it isn't fair to ask somebody else to do the fighting i think you have a very
