Sunset Surprise

Welcome to “Western Week.”

Now, you might ask, “Why am I doing Westerns instead of regular romance this week?”

And I might tell you:

—Because I was hankering fer somethin’ fun. Somethin’ different. Somethin’ in a size nine 1/2, 10-gallon hat!

—Because sometimes a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do!

—Because….none of your %$#& business, pilgrim!

My thanks to Diego Jourdan Pereira for a truly superlative job redrawing the original public domain art.

Pencils possibly by Ward King. This appeared in Western Love Trails #7.
