Thanks for reading.

I ought've mentioned under yesterday's cartoon that, in the Morte (or
at least in Keith Baines' "rendition" of the Morte, which is not quite
as free of invented details as the author claims in the introduction), Andret
gets his paramour to testify that she actually witnessed Tristram's death, at
which time he named Andret as his heir. I streamlined things for the sake of
the joke. I'd've felt worse about that - badly enough to remember to mention
it here yesterday, probably - if the paramour had been given a name, but no.
I think yesterday's gag concisely portrays how no one at Mark's court but
Isolde seems to care about the news, even if it makes Isolde a stereotypical
weepy woman. I looked for any sign of strength that I could latch onto from
Isolde in this scene from the Morte the Baines, and there
wasn't any, so I can blame the source. Though I suppose even strong
characters get weepy when their One True Loves die.
Actually of course Tristram is still hanging out with the goatherds he beat up Dagonet for picking on. When
Tristram actually dies it's either at the hands of Mark himself, or because a
ship has the wrong color sails (you can't beat the classics).
