When I first started drawing History Bluffs, I had come up with 3 possible avenues to travel down with the idea of historical events gone awry. Well, the concept was simple, "making History fun, while making fun of History" .
Road number one was to draw them as political and editorial cartoons from a long time ago. Just like we read in today's periodicals, but it would have been OLD NEWS, in PAST TENSE.... so to speak.
Road number two was, with each History Bluff, have an educational explanation of the historical gag or pun. Then I realized, that might make for a good book, but hey, Gary Larson never had an explanation to all of those science-related Far Sides, which made me laugh uncontrollably. I laughed at his drawings and his wording, then to my surprise, I laughed even harder when I looked up some of his Biology themed cartoons.
The third road is what I chose. Just draw it and post it! A delayed laughter is better than none at all.
