Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

how did this guy get shot in the back and then fall forward onto the palisade? I think they left the gate open

Standing facing away from the wall, gets shot in back from battle, turns around to see who/what it was and falls over dead.

Or inside job.

Help. I don’t understand.

The uniforms suggest that this is a (fictional) scene from The Battle of Little Bighorn, also called Custer's Last Stand. General Custer and his cavalry were soundly defeated by the combined Indian tribes with whom they were battling. The note on the arrow suggests that it was sent by one of the Indian warriors. Rather than heed the very graphic warning, they chose to mock the spelling.
