Will Never Get Over It
1 pp · humor; western-frontier
Wagonwheels

Wagonwheels arrives in a state of dramatic distress, insisting he's witnessed something so terrible he'll never recover from it—but when his friends press him for details, the gabby character reveals his "awful" experience was nothing more than a clever setup for a well-timed punchline. A quick-witted bit of frontier humor that proves even the best intentions to keep a secret can fall victim to a good gag.

7 pp · western-frontier

When a notorious rustler named Red Frisby devises a deadly scheme to steal cattle from the ranchers of Peaceful Corners, Marshal Lash LaRue arrives to put a stop to the gang's murderous spree. What begins as a clever ploy to lure unsuspecting cattlemen into a trap becomes a test of wits and nerve when LaRue's quick thinking and legendary whip work turn the tables on Frisby and his ruthless henchmen.

Some Shooting
1 pp · humor; western-frontier

When a sharpshooter reveals his unorthodox method for hitting perfect bull's-eyes—shoot first, draw the targets afterward—the humor lands in "Some Shooting," a quick comic bit from *Lash LaRue Western* #1 (1949) featuring Loco Lew and a visiting marksman. It's the kind of frontier tall-tale logic that makes westerns fun, delivered with a punchline that flips the whole premise on its head.

The Big Snooze
4 pp · humor; western-frontier

Big Bow and Little Arrow seek shelter in a carnival stable for the night, but the carnival owner agrees to let them stay only if they work—sweeping, hauling hay, and feeding the horses. When the owner then serves them horse feed as payment for their labor, the duo plots revenge by washing away the decorative paint and powder that makes the carnival horses look pristine, working through the night to teach the owner a lesson. Come morning, their prank backfires in the most ironic way possible.

"Lash" LaRue and the Planned Accidents!
7 pp · western-frontier

When Bill Lamont Jr. returns home to claim his late father's ranch, he finds himself in danger from an unexpected source—the trusted foreman Sledge, who stands to inherit the property if anything happens to the young heir before his twenty-first birthday. With each "accident" Sledge arranges growing more elaborate and deadly, Bill discovers he can count on Marshal Lash LaRue to see through the schemes and stand by his side. As Sledge's desperation mounts and his final trap is sprung, it becomes a race against time to stop a man willing to commit murder to claim what he believes is rightfully his.
