THE CARTOON COWBOY …
On my side of the river …
(if this offends you, remember that I am a cartoonist that deals in satire and cynicism. In short it doesn’t really bother me that you are offended)
down the road outside of Langtry, Texas on The Rio Grande
… this is at Eagle’s Nest
MEXICO on the other side.
Ol’ Judge Roy Bean’s place was always a favorite place of my Dad’s … of course when he went there for the first time in the early 1950’s it wasn’t anything like it is today.
The State of Texas has stepped in and made everything around there real fancy …
Still a place I like to visit on occasion.
They say this place is 2 miles from water and 2 feet from HELL !
“THE CARTOON COWBOY” and “BLACK the BEAR”
… I’ve never been big on creating graffiti, but I will sketch as few ‘toons if the opportunity arises …
This is an old abandoned motor court between Comstock and Langtry, Texas.
I can’t ever drive by this place without stopping.
I have had this hanging on the wall of “THE CARTOON SALOON” for many years.
Don’t remember how I cam by it, but it is purty accurate for sure.
PS: If you are not familiar with the word “Purty” than you damn sure ain’t from my part of the country.
These were and are my uncles – remembering them on Veteran’s day 2014
At the start of World War I, my grandfather Daniel Dewy Mooney and his brother on April 16, 1917 quit school and enlisted in the Army, his brother Joseph enlisted in the Navy.
This is one I did of a buddy of mine from Maypearl, Texas a few weeks back.
Just got around to posting it.
Had an unexpected visit of Friday from cowboy artist and spinner of tall tales Rick McCumber from Georgewest, Texas on his way to do famous people stuff in Fredericksburg, Texas.
He dropped off some oddities and curios for The Cartoon Saloon.

A close up of the cartoon drawn for MaCleod …
… so I stopped in at The Cocky Rooster Bar last evening to watch some college football and ran across this kind fellow that goes by the name MaCleod …
I was obliged to draw a cartoon for him … was a pleasure visiting with you Sir!
The Cartoon Cowboy’s lucky day … I go in to a Flea market in Bandera, Texas today and I see hanging on the wall a frame with a “Mad Jack” Hanks cartoon in it.
The price on the cartoon was $8.00, well upon closer inspection I discover that the cartoon is actually a “Mad Jack” original and vendor selling it has no idea.
So The Cartoon Cowboy is now the proud owner of this “Mad Jack” original cartoon.
… if you are offended by alcohol, barrooms, curvy dames, bad language and chickens … specially chickens, then you may not fit the demographic of my cartoon audience.
