Big Obstacle

Saddlehead's got a horse he claims is the fastest in the world—but when a skeptical friend challenges him on the claim, the cowpoke's explanation for why it hasn't proven itself is pure comedy gold. It's a quick, gag-driven story that pokes fun at tall tales and the kind of circular logic that passes for truth out on the range.

Cowboy Cal Is a Big Reader
1 pp · humor; western-frontier

Cowboy Cal claims he's writing a book, but when pressed about his literary credentials, his boasts quickly unravel—he's read the classics, sure, but he didn't write them! This lighthearted one-pager plays up the gap between ambition and honesty with the kind of good-natured ribbing that made Tom Mix Western a fun escape for young readers in 1949.

Convinced
1 pp · humor; western-frontier

When a would-be mayor named Big Jim Honary promises a simple fellow named Saddlehead that he'll always lend a hand, he gets a midnight test of his campaign pledge—one that lands him in the pouring rain chasing a wagon that may not even exist. It's a clever bit of frontier humor that proves sometimes the best way to read a politician's character is to take him at his word.
