Bill Boyd Western #2

In "Perilous Journey," Bill finds himself wrongly accused when he’s tricked into aiding an outlaw’s escape—only to be jailed as a suspected gang member. Escaping custody, he goes undercover with the very outlaws he’s meant to bring to justice, setting off a tense and unpredictable chase across the frontier.

When a drifter accidentally splashes Hammerhead in a frontier town puddle, a simple apology sets off a chain of misunderstandings about what constitutes a fight. This one-page western comedy plays the confusion for laughs as the two men square off over very different notions of frontier etiquette.

Brainy Buster decides to pull a prank on his dim-witted pal Dopey Doran, ordering him to keep his eyes open around the ranch—only to reveal the real joke with a splash of water and a laugh at Doran's expense. It's a quick bit of frontier foolery that shows just how easily one can outsmart the other in this 1950 western humor tale.

Windy Whopper regales a curious tourist with tall tales about Sam Seesaw, the legendary first Pony Express rider of the territory—a man so dedicated to his route that lightning, arrows, and knives couldn't stop him from delivering the mail. As Windy spins increasingly outlandish yarns about Sam's bravery and misadventures, the line between frontier fact and frontier fiction grows delightfully blurry. This 1950 humor western proves that sometimes the best mail carrier in the West is the one with the best storytelling skills.
