I'm still trying to figure out if Jinjur actually let her finish the quote or not.
Also, I doubt it. It's like pointing out that unicorns and other equines like Horn have got nails as hard as diamonds. Or like when the crazy monkey pointed out "No, I mean litterally eat like a horse". It's just pointing out what they are.
As opposed to say… calling me a trash panda. Given, it means you think I'm cute, but that's beside the point.

Pretty much as it's stated, historically. An American Civil War general said the same thing, and got interrupted mid-word. Supposedly a Russian general during the Chechnya business said pretty much the same thing (I believe he said 'a barn' rather than an elephant) and got interrupted the same way.
I originally heard it as "they couldn't hit the side of a barn at this dis--" and when I checked the source of the quote, Wikipedia said it was General Sedgwick, and the word was "elephant."
My guess is that I originally read about the Russian, and Google sent me to Sedgwick.

I'm pleased people can identify the source of the quote!
I've heard it that the General was cut off before he could finish saying "distance," but then I've also heard that that was apocryphal.
I like the idea better that he couldn't get out the rest of his comment because he got shot.

Initially I had him thinking "Of all the days to oversleep--!" but in a subsequent strip, I had a continuity error, so I thought to make it more ambiguous so that he could have gone to the "earlier" scene first, gotten delayed there, then appeared here. Eventually I decided that was too complicated and just changed the background of the "earlier" scene to be taking place in full daylight, instead of just at sunrise.
You'll see what I mean in a couple of weeks. Or not, because now the continuity error is gone.
Ah, time travel...

A long time ago I went target shooting with my friend out in the middle of nowhere. There was a bottle about a 75, maybe 85 yards out. He used a .9mm, then a .45, then used something, either a semi-auto AK, or SKS, and dumped mag after mag. Me, I just sat there, watching. Finally, he gave up and I raised up my only gun, a long barrel Mk I Ruger in .22lr. He says "What the heck are you going to do with that? You're not gonna hit anything with that pissant little-" *bang!* *distant sound of glass breaking* "I hate you so much."
I couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day. XD
Moral of the story: Beware the man with one gun, for he probably knows how to use it.
(also, clean up after yourself and the range gods will smile on you.)
