Doesn’t this page just look awesome? Click to see a bigger version.
Cowgirls and male prostitutes! This is what you read the comics page for, folks! This one is attributed to the writing of Victoria Elliott, who writes and draws Spaceman Comics. That is, of course, not to sell short all the work that Sammy, Tyler Suder, the artist Rachel Weiss, and Incoherent Jargon‘s Claudine Lucena. Not to mention Jon and our Comics Editor CC!
As with the other western pages, go back and really look at the backgrounds and stuff, readers. There is a lot of little things, and it’d be a shame if you missed out on them. Especially with a comic as detailed as this one.
That’s three down and two to go! These are running every day this week, so I’ll post the next two as I get them! I don’t know about you, but I look forward to it!

There’s a bigger version for you all!
This is the day that I personally worked on, but I’m sure you’ve noticed if you read it. This is The Infinite Chase, and it was masterminded by Jon of 6 dollars, please. I did all the sheriff drawings, Gabe of Adventures in Emergency Medicine created the bandit up there, and Ryohei drew all the other characters, including the steam-powered Jonatron behind the stairs and Sammy’s raccoon getting blasted by the sheriff on the left. Also, every thank you in the world ever goes to Brianne Klitgaard for the awesomest background you see there.
You should note that this version is the sort of digitally remastered version or some such thing. The managing editor sort of cut us off before we were done, in what might go down in my memory as the king of all dick moves. As a result, this page printed without the footprints, missing a few stray bullets, and with much shittier arrows. It is not quite up to par with what we had in mind as there are still a few characters missing and some of the proportions are weird since we got rushed, but really this version looks way better.
I’m quite proud of it. Be sure to go back and really look at everything there is to see when you read these, because the creators put in so many little details. You might miss something.

P.S.: If you are interested, here are a few of my sheriff poses and things that I drew.
In case you guys have been wondering where in the hell I have been lately, there is a Daily Texan comics event going on this week! Like the Whodunit from last semester, except more stand-alone. Every day is it’s own thingamajig, rather than a five day story.
Here’s a bigger version for you.
I personally worked on Day 2, but here is Day 1 for you all! This is Brianne Klitgaard’s brainchild. You’ll also recognize some of Sammy’s work in there, as well as Nam Nguyen of Psychobevo, and Katie Carrell. I hope I didn’t miss anyone! If you look closely, you will notice some of the recurring characters from various comics, including Emery, on the page there.
Awesome!
Well, readers…there is sort of a long lost comic out there. I finished comic 36 at the Daily Texan office rather than my home computer, and there it remains. Hence the lack of tWC on Wednesday. I should email it to myself or something. My bad…
As for today’s comic, you might notice the color looks a little different. That is because it is in CMYK, since tomorrow’s comics page is printing in color. It my comic runs, it will be my first ever color comic ACTUALLY IN the Daily Texan. I hope it doesn’t look awful.
Now then, I hope this comic makes sense. I was just thinking about how all the cutesy little things couples do have the potential to end in disaster. Have you ever fallen asleep with your significant other in your arms only to find when you wake an hour later that your arm is not only completely numb to the point of feeling nonexistent, but it is also pinned under him or her? And the only options are to wake that person up or just bear it. This is kind of like that.
Sneezing is what usually happens when something tickles your nose. It’s just a fact. But don’t let me discourage you from loving somebody!

Cheshire Dog? I owe Sammy an apology for not getting this one on the web sooner.
