Daryl Talbot's Cowboy Cartoons #3 (No.3) 1st Pelican Ed edition

In his third collection of cartoons, Daryl Talbot draws (no pun intended) on the cowboy's roles at home, on the range, and in the rodeo to create an overview of Western life that is guaranteed to produce more than a few knee-slaps and hearty chuckles. For the home, a salesman pitches a new chair to his Western customer- It's a cowboy recliner! It vibrates at a walk, lope and gallop. On the range, we discover that there's a couple of drawbacks to havin' a good cook -namely that the cowboys get fat, and the horses' backs sag. And at the rodeo, one particular cartoon is worthy of Gary Larson. In it, one bull turns to the others and says, Get the clown! Pass it on! Who knew that all that work could be this much fun . . . or this funny?
