My turn to be confused. Can someone please explain this?
my first impression is it’s a play on unity, that they are already going, but he is saying start whenever he wants to? Still, I can’t really tell if they are in motion already… and he is at the front. So I’m confused.
EDIT: 5 months ago on Reddit, someone gave a better answer when I went looking on Google Search: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheFarSide/comments/124clhy/can_anyone_explain_this_gary_larson_cartoon/
For those who don’t want to give Reddit clicks:
“I think the joke is that wagon masters would shout “Wagons, hooooooo!” to start the journey. So a non- union wagon master would be like a discount, inferior version and would get it wrong”
Makes total sense. Thank you!
I understand the basic premise of this picture now that I’ve seen 1883. When I was a kid I thought it was some kind of race
