Happy Independence day, USA! On July 4, 1776, the delegates of the 13 colonies officially adopted the Declaration of Independence and ended British rule.
Many Fourth of July pastimes have emerged over the centuries−watching fireworks, attending baseball games and flying red, white and blue flags. But nothing seems quite as classic as a backyard barbecue, like the one in today’s artwork.
American barbecues date back to the early 19th century, when southerners commemorated the anniversary of independence with public celebrations and meals. Since the culinary method allowed for a large amount of food to be cooked at once, barbecues became a staple for outdoor gatherings where local farmers and community members donated meat for everyone to eat. When many Southern African Americans migrated to the north in the 20th century, they brought beloved barbecue recipes with them. Soon enough, barbecue restaurants spread across American towns, with each region having its own distinct style.
Today, millions of Americans meet up with loved ones around grills and barbecue pits to celebrate the fourth of July.
Happy birthday, America!

Lin McAdam and 'High-Spade' Frankie Wilson are searching for Dutch Henry Brown, with whom Lin has a personal score to settle. They arrive in Dodge City, Kansas, just as Sheriff Wyatt Earp forces saloon girl Lola Manners onto a stagecoach leaving town. He tells Lin that firearms are not allowed in town and must be handed in to Earp's brother Virgil. Lin and Dutch then lay eyes on each other in the saloon, but cannot fight due to the presence of the Earps.
Lin enters the town's Centennial shooting contest for a prized "One of One Thousand" Winchester 1873 rifle. Competing against many others he and Dutch end up as finalists. After matching Dutch shot for shot, Lin wins by successfully betting he can shoot through a stamp placed over the hole of a coin-shaped ornament from a Native American necklace.
