I would think that after the first Sheriff got put under they would be smart enough to round up a a posse. And if one dead sheriff wasn’t enough you’d think two would be. I’m not sure this towns grasp of tactics; which seems to consist of “send sheriff in. He dies. Hire new one, repeat.” is a viable one.
Just wanted to add a historical note here. The Hollywood western presentation of unarmed panicked citizens is 90% bull. Most households and one or more guns. Even more to the point, most of the “pioneers” were Civil war veterans. During the short-lived outlaw era the gangs kept getting bigger and got out of town real quick. Otherwise they’d be taking rifle fire from everywhere.
Three sheriffs within two days!….my, my, my….Our little heroine was plumed busy I see. Wonder what the hiring policy and appointment of Sheriffs in Sun Prairie is?…The benefits and wages must be damn good…I mean three (3) sheriffs in a row…They must have a damn good dental plan!

At least that’s how it worked in the Lucky Luke cartoons : )
This new sheriff agrees with your assessment of the town’s tactics, and is amenable to a new approach…
loving Virgil’s face/facial expressions.
It doesn’t seem like a big enough town to have enough armed gentleman about for that, or at least none with the stomach for it.
Although weird/interesting that the protagonist role has become a little murky…

Also, panel 4 made me laugh.
Jasper’s outraged gesticulation tickles my funny bone in the best way.
I didn’t notice it before, but those light color holds are incredibly effective! I love how they look on the dark hats.
Just great. I love coming back and having a couple of new pages to get me by! Western Webcomics for the win.
Absolutely. Via con dios, my Western Webcomic brother.
I love your art style!
Thank you very kindly, Your Majesty 😀
