==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|Created by a RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 PLAYER IN THE 1800s. Please mention here why this explanation isn't complete. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}<br />
<br />
For the most part, genres of film, games and the like based on historical time periods frequently take hold after the time period is over. Over time, the time period will remain the same size while the "genre"'s lifespan will grow, eventually leading to the genre being as long as its origin. In this case, the Western genre is not equal to nor double but TRIPLE the size of the time period it is based on. While this might be taken to suggest that we have used up everything good in Westerns, it probably is more Randall looking at time passing.<br />

==Transcript==<br />
{{incomplete transcript|Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}<br />
A horizontal timeline spanning between the years 1840 and 2020. Every decade is indicated by a tick below the line, and labeled every 50 years. Two ranges are highlighted by brackets and labeled:<br />
<br />
1862-1898: The “Wild West” era<br />
<br />
1902-2019: Western films, books, video games, etc<br />
<br />
Below the timeline:<br />
<br />
It's weird to realize that the Western genre has now existed for three times longer than the period it's based on.<br />

Well that's a much easier way of converting it than my method of looking at two keyboards.<br />

I think that's just for US keyboards. I get different results trying that on a UK QWERTY keyboard [[User:Jdluk|Jdluk]] ([[User talk:Jdluk|talk]]) 16:56, 18 January 2017 (UTC)<br />

I have only typed Dvorak since 1991, currently on a TypeMatrix 2030DV. Since I have pretty much forgotten Qwerty, I had to look at my wife's laptop to find the letters. Back and forth looking at the comic, it took me a minute to translate that in Notepad. ;-) I can do about 90 wpm in DV. Friends don't let friends type Qwerty!<br />
