When they met with the Irish Brigade (L'il Rebels)

Partially inspired by this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfK_aS…

It's your favorite two Rebels, fighting for State's rights and, I guess 'cause they both needed a job.

I've oft thought about what it'd be like if Lackadaisy took place in the 1860's.  The trouble boys, Rocky Rickaby and his cousin, Calvin McMurray would probably fight with Kelly's Irish Brigade in Missouri during the American Civil War.  

It'd be awful if Rocky and Calvin ended up choosing different sides in the Civil War.  I didn't shade-in their Kepis because I couldn't quite decide which one of them would be a Rebel and which one would fight for the Union.  I think that Calvin would fight with the Kelly's Missouri Irish Brigade for the Confederacy and Rocky would be fighting the system as an abolitionist.  The South did have better music though, so I wonder if that would've influenced Rocky's choice.   Ah, well.  This whole concept of cousin v. cousin (albeit one that actually occurred during the war) is kinda sick, anyhow.  

It would be more likely that they would both fight with Kelly's Irish Brigade in Missouri.  Yeah, let's go with that.  Then I can say that Calvin is running to Rocky's aid in this drawing and the whole thing could be a little more heart-warming.

Lackadaisy and the lovable characters therein are the creative property of the great Tracy J. Butler.
