I find it so weird that these posts are titled with today's date rather than like, the date of the original comic lol
Yeah, the date is from the website, but there's no good reason to date them like so
She can date anyone she wants!
Holy shit the dad's thought bubble made me think this was an edit
That bubble made me laugh out loud. Gary Larson was unhinged.
I really don't understand these
Red Cloud: famous Sioux tribal leader.
Sioux: tribe that hunted bison.
Gary Larsen seemed to take a recurring interest in the events surrounding or semi-related to what's called Custer's Last Stand.
I'm not sure there's anything to understand; it's a pretty surrealist strip.
Is this where Buffalo Bill came from?
No, this is where we get the lesser-known “Bison Bob” - semi-famous from wild west stories such as “The Good, The Bad, and the Okay-looking,” and “Fistful of Sand Dollars”
It is set a little before Buffalo Bill and the attempt to eradicate the native Americans by eliminating their food supply: Buffalo. They nearly succeeded in driving the animal extinct. They had little luck eradicating the people

Gary Larson is retired but there are reruns.
As others have said, these are taken from Gary Larson’s daily website posts of old comics.
He is still drawing. Although retired, he recently got a tablet and has been experimenting with it, so he puts out new comics on his website every so often when the mood strikes him.
Makes me think of rockos modern life, where heifer (a cow) was literally raised by wolves
I imagine his ultimate nightmare was closer to having his people's land stolen and his tribe whiped of the face of the earth, with little more than a reference regarding their murderers as the sum total of their history.
