Gary Larson's Dodge City

No one makes comics better than Gary Larson. It was many years ago I saw one of the far side collections on a book return cart at the Newton branch of the Surrey public library. It caught my attention and I immediately picked it up. Went through it many times over, renewed it time and time again and finally bought it later.

Wikipedia has a section on him here.

I never knew Dodge City was a real town until today, here’s the official city website. Only a genius of Larson's caliber
can come up with something as obvious and practical about the origins of the town’s name.

(The caption reads: It was a tough frontier town; but later, after the arrival of the Earp brothers, things calmed down, and the town’s name was shortened to simply Dodge City.)
