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.

So …where’s the part where Willy confronts the cartoonist and berates him?

Just a gentle reminder … Badlands ended in February, 2001. This particular run of strips date back to 1995. Pearls Before Swine was launched in December, 2001.
