Facts about Napoleon

8 1 13 Napoleon plays in Sandbox Afraid of Cat Bearman CartoonsSo as today’s cartoon shows, there seems to be more to Napoleon that many of us didn’t know.  Two things I found interesting while reading this article were that he created battle plans in a sandbox and he was desperately afraid of cats.   Well I would be too if I had to fend the cats off from trying to pee in my sandbox.   This was fun to do so I will be coming up with more odd facts to share in cartoon form in the future.

Won’t be around the blogosphere much this weekend so please try to behave.

    I’d be afraid of anything half my body weight that walked on all fours and had retractable claws. 😉

      Probably a good way to look at it.

    I agree with Bill. It’s the retractable claws that scare me. I fear my Mum & Dad’s cat. He hates me & he knows it. Maybe the problem was that he didn’t know that his sandbox was actually the kitty litter tray & the cat just needed to go poopys

      And that is what would scare me is to find a pile of cat poop in my sandbox

        I don’t really understand what it’s all about or what it’s for but my Avast Antivirus has a sandbox mode. I hope there’s no kitty poopy in my computer…

    Wow! Your site is starting to get educational 🙂

    I like that you made him about the size of the cat. I knew he was short but not Peter Dinklage short 😉

    That probably wasn’t pc but to his credit I think he is the best actor on Game of Thrones.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Definitely gets all the lines and the women

      1. Binky Avatar

        Peters usually do.

        1. Dave Avatar

          LOL… oh, putting that pun back into the box and quietly walking away… No, I’m still laughing.

          1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

            Too bad Peter signed in as Binky…seems creepy hearing Binky saying it. haha

          2. Dave Avatar

            I was still laughing about this morning. Good grief I need to grow up 🙂

    I suppose Britain should have sent an army of cats to fight him, then.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      No one thought of that plan

      Question is do you constantly have your hand up your own shirt?

  11. David Hurley Avatar

    I’m pretty sure he wasn’t holding catnip inside his jacket in all his portraits.

  14. Joseph Avatar

    He was probably afraid of digging up some land mines!

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      10 years later I still need a shirt over my face to clean the litter

  15. spilledinkguy Avatar

    Do I just have some sand in my eyes, or does it look a bit different around here?! FANCY! Nice work, Bearman (I love your Napoleon, too, of course. Vote for Pedro. Wait… that’s not quite right…)

      Thanks…I was working hard while you were on vacation

    I don’t like cats either. I don’t fear ’em, just don’t like ’em.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Wasn’t a fan myself until I married a cat woman

  17. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

    Napoleon never mentioned to me that he was afraid of cats. Yep, I’m old.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Maybe he had heart troubles too and that is why he was always checking to make sure it was still beating.

      1. Bo LUMPKIN Avatar

        Maybe his defibrillator was bothering him.

    My favorite ice cream is Napoleon.

  19. Tim Green Avatar

    It always freaks me out how cats will stare at a spot on the wall for a minute and then run away and hide! Maybe they see Napoleons ghost….

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Why run away…his ghost is the one afraid.

    Who wants something crapping all over their war plans? It would make me pissy as well! [meoow]

      You have some hairball schemes…so it might work for you

    Luckily I always behave myself when visiting so no worries on that score 🙂 This is a very interesting idea adding historical facts as cartoons, and the way that you offer them always adds a giggle my fine friend, I can just imagine what Napoleon found in his sandbox being that I have a cat and she is always in there, well it beats the alternative 🙂 Those ginger cats can be quite aggressive you know 🙂 lol

    I used to have a girlfriend with a ginger Moggie, hey watch it
    Bearman I meant her pet cat not what you were thinking 😉 lmao
