Having debuted in 1988 in the short-lived British daily, The Post, Steve McGarry's western spoof strip "Badlands" was snapped up the following year by The Sun, Britain's best-selling newspaper. The silly and saucy antics of Marshal Mask and his motley mob of maladjusted misfits were an immediate hit with the paper's 7.5 million readers. During its 12-year run in The Sun, Badlands spawned two best-selling book collections in the UK.

this is real good. I like the phrase “a little lie-down” my man and I use that but is not commonly heard here in Kansas. The rotund gal is cute too.

Don’t make fun of that man’s big red nose. I’ll bet you wish you had a nose like that full of nickels. <♦> When they passed out noses he thought they said roses and asked for a big red one!

As long as you’re splitting hairs, would they have been using liters? The metric system had been invented by then, but was not in common use.
