Comment Section for farside is far out

This cartoon by Gary Larson from "The Far Side" series is a humorous take on a famous event in American Wild West history, the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The joke lies in the deliberate play on words with "O.K. Corral," which here has been cheekily renamed "Okeedokee Corral," a humorous, casual twist. In the image, a sign reads "Okeedokee Corral," and a group of stern-looking cowboys with guns (resembling Western gunslingers) stand outside, while a man checks some paperwork. The text says, "Let’s see here. … Oh! Close, but no cigar. You want the place up the road—same as I told those other fellahs." The humor comes from the play on the wrong location and the casual dismissal through the phrase "Close, but no cigar," suggesting these tough cowboys are looking for the famous O.K. Corral but ended up at the whimsically named wrong location instead. It's a classic example of how Gary Larson mixes historical references with absurdity to create humor.
