Though romanticized
in Dumas’ fiction, the real Three Musketeers were a pathetic lot: Pathos, a habitual whiner, Orthos, couldn’t
stand straight without his corrective boots and Ignoramus, was…well, just that,
a real dumb-ass.

Blogger's Notes: You will see that there are four people in the illustration. The fourth person, on the far left, is Neuros, who was not technically a "Musketeer". He was a mere "hanger on" and had "issues".
