Been revisiting an old flame. In 1977 I was between wives and at the end of my tether in The Old Pueblo. In desperation I sent off a packet of cartoon ideas to Matty Simmons at the National Lampoon.
Long story short, Matty and the editors at the Lampoon chose this one:
"Most cowboys I know are shockingly cruel, hasty in temper and unbridled in tongue. The rest are not my type."
—Honkytonk Sue
From the perspective of several decades, I don't think a film could have captured Sue in all her glory unless it was expertly animated.
