Gopher Face

Gopher Face turns down a job opportunity at Jeph Dailey's ranch, but when pressed for his reason, it turns out the real problem has nothing to do with the work itself. This quick western comedy plays on the gap between what Gopher Face claims and the funny truth behind his decision.

1 pp · humor; western-frontier
Hill Billy

Hill Billy tries to sell his cow at the county fair, but his honest appraisal of the animal's poor qualities keeps buyers away—until a smooth-talking friend steps in and hawks the beast with wildly exaggerated claims. Hill Billy gets his fifty dollars, but there's a twist to what he's really learned from the whole transaction.

A Friend in Need
1 pp · humor; western-frontier

Sagebrush wants nothing to do with Borrowing Ben, the territory's most persistent moocher, but when Ben shows up asking for five dollars and claiming to be his best friend, Sagebrush tests just how far that friendship really goes. A one-page comedy romp where a desperate request meets an equally desperate dodge.

The Non-Profit Bank Robbers
7 pp · western-frontier
Rocky LaneBlack Jack (horse)Ricker (banker)sheriff

When bank robbers hit a frontier town, they're not after gold—they're putting it back. Rocky Lane stumbles onto the strangest heist yet and must unravel why these outlaws are depositing instead of stealing, with the help of his keen wits and his trusted partner Black Jack. As the undercover marshal closes in on the scheme and its mysterious boss, the real motive behind these non-profit raids becomes the key to cracking the case wide open.

Nothing Suits Him
4 pp · humor; western-frontier
Slim Pickens

Slim Pickens has a wardrobe crisis—his trousers are torn and his wallet is empty—but he's got a scheme: he'll trade 100 rolls from the bakery to Jenkins at the clothing shop for a suit. When the baker and shopkeeper figure out they've been played against each other, things get heated, and Slim ends up facing something far worse than a missing outfit.

Blizzard Badmen's Bust-Up
8 pp · western-frontier
Rocky LaneBlack Jack (horse)Weathereye IkeMountie

Rocky Lane, a two-fisted undercover marshal scouting the Northwest Territory, smells trouble when payroll money draws the attention of Weathereye Ike and his gang of renegades—especially when a coming blizzard gives them the perfect cover for a daring river heist. Pursuing the thieves into a raging storm, Rocky finds himself tracking across the Canadian border where he'll need more than grit and marksmanship to bring the "Blizzard Badmen" to justice. With skis, rope, and a clever bit of frontier savvy, he sets up a showdown that'll test whether law and order can hold its ground in the frozen wilderness.

Bottle Neck
1 pp · humor; western-frontier
Sagebrush

Sagebrush sets up a gag with his unsuspecting friend, launching into a sorrowful tale about a terrible accident at the Browns' house that morning. When the punchline lands—it's the bottle that broke its neck, not the baby—this one-page humor story delivers the kind of groan-worthy wordplay that made Rocky Lane Western such a gas.
