Rescue in the Night
At first, everything was peachy keen in the Court of King Darius. (May
he live forever).
Pinch your nose for proper effect.
|
The people loved King Darius, and he loved them equally. And Daniel
is a respected member of the court.
Then a Wisdom Contest creates dissension at court. |
 |
|
Three malcontent courtiers, jealous of Daniel's influence at court,
manipulate Darius into issuing a proclamation.
All must worship their King, or perish! |
 |
|
Daniel's song "Here I Am" sums up his dilemma. There is but
one God, and Darius isn't close.
 |
 |
|
Left to right,Crushafo (a Reynolds Wrap Artist), Astrofar (what's
your sign) and Taxalot (IRS precursor) catch Daniel in the act!
Praying to God, not Darius!
You don't have to read between the lions to know what comes next. |
|
King Darius is mortified that he has been tricked into sending Daniel
to his doom in a lions' den.
Fortunately, all the lions are safety conscious, which accounts for
their OSHA orange caps and tails.
 |
Daniel survives his ordeal, and Darius sees the foolishness of his ways. |
|
Time for a new, improved proclamation.
Crushafo, Astrofar and Taxalot get a taste of their own medicine
(think MGM logo), while the Court Heralds announce a new law of the land.
All prayers are to be directed to The One True King (and Darius's
"may he live forever" fanfare is put in cold storage).
Time for a curtain call (below). |
