Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?

grayman,

Or to the educated, coincidental.

Kind of a dark one for today.

Look up Custer’s Last Stand. …m.wikipedia.org/…/Battle_of_the_Little_Bighorn

Larson did a few referencing this. Basically, Custer and his cavalry were soundly defeated by the combined native tribes.

ChicoSuave,

Outside of US Cavalry and some Native Americans, what part of this is Little Big Horn or Custer? That link doesn’t she’s light on what the comic means.

dragonfly,

They’re saying “Neener Neener, you can’t catch me,” and from what we know about history, the Natives accepted the challenge and won. I’m not sure how else to explain it. You might not find it funny, and that’s okay, but it’s clearly a reference to that battle.

zinaer,

What we know about history - the natives won?

dragonfly,

They won the Battle of Little Bighorn, also known as Custer’s Last Stand, yes.

You joke, but this is a valid thing to do when you need to sleep where there are mosquitoes. If they go in the tube, free protein.

threelonmusketeers,

If they go in the tube

Aren’t they attracted to carbon dioxide? They would go in the tube.

I wonder what snake civilization would be like architecturally

LemmyKnowsBest,

Tunnels & mounds everywhere. Excellent aeration & topsoil agricultural health for natural vegetation to thrive.

No buildings, no asphalt, no concrete.

Just a world of healthy soil.

stingpie,

I think snakes would probably use tunnels, but I think snakes would probably use just as much concrete as us. We don’t use concrete because we like how it looks, we use it despite it’s looks. Concrete is just cheap and useful. It wouldn’t be any less useful for snakes. Though snakes would probably coat the concrete in something softer & higher friction, like rubber.

A question I've had for a while, why spam the current date on these when they were released in the 80s and 90s?

Should it not be the date of release?

LemmyKnowsBest,

I contemplated the same question yesterday and quickly came to the conclusion that the copyright year of each cartoon is already included in the picture, So I’m already satisfied with that.

and to expect OP to research & determine the exact date of original publication would be a lot of pointless effort.

I’m fine with the current modern date being posted on these because we are living in the present and I could easily glance at these and know whether or not I’ve read it before, because oh my gosh it’s seven December and that is right now!

I wondered the same thing a while back so I asked. It’s the date they’re digitally published on the official webpage.

LemmyKnowsBest,

there’s an official web page? does anyone else remember back during at least the first 10 years the internet existed Gary Larson refused to participate and he told everyone DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PUT MY ARTWORK ON THE INTERNET!

And then one day I noticed him resurfacing, someone had introduced him to digital art, he could create and color in his cartoons purely digitally, and he loved it. He said he was just doing it for fun but don’t expect him to make a job of it,

And now I see this, all his old art is being presented on Lemmy and I assumed it was unauthorized by Larson but perhaps he authorizes it now!

    I was thinking this was a Mario Brothers reference at first and was really lost…

    lugal, in 29 January 2024

    And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad…

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.
