Tumbleweeds Buckaroo #[nn]

Tom K. Ryan's beloved comic strip Tumbleweeds lopes into this 1985 Fawcett Gold Medal collection, Buckaroo, with all the dry-desert charm that made it a newspaper staple. The sunny yellow cover says it all: a hapless cowboy atop an exhausted, droopy-eyed horse finds himself in a classic Western standoff — connected by a taut rope to a thoroughly unimpressed longhorn peering over the opposite canyon ledge. It's a snapshot of Ryan's gentle, absurdist wit at its best, promising a roundup of laughs from the wide-open, wonderfully goofy frontier of Tumbleweeds country.
