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.

“Cheeky”? Just where are the Badlands located? I’ve only heard “cheeky” spoken by Brits.

I may stand to be corrected, but i do bel;ieve the cartoonist, Mr McGarry, is British, hence the use of the term “Cheeky”

that’s why I really like it, old American fantasy comedy for Brits. I love the Brits interesting phrases and words we use differently.
