“COWBOY MAGIC”
Posted: December 22, 2013 in Black and WhiteTags: Cowboy Cartoon, Cowboy Cartoonist, JP Rankin, The Cartoon Cowboy
I did this cartoon in 2000 at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo …
The three Amigos appearing in the cartoon are friends of mine, from left to right Garland Tucker – Leather Tooler, Will Burgess – Saddle Maker and Rick McCumber – Western Artist.
Rick is explaining to Will how Garland can take a $50 calf and turn it into a $250 belt … just like that!

So I was saying the other day that this was the book I read by John Erickson that got be introduced to Jody Logsdon with Laid-Back West Syndicate and that is when I started having my cartoons published in American Cowboy, Western Horseman and Cowboy Sports & Entertainment ….
I loaned my copy out and never got it back.
I found this one on the internet the other day for $9.00.
Signed by the author John Erickson and more importantly signed by “The Greatest Cowboy Cartoonist”

Alright … The Cartoon Cowboy officially has a new sidekick – thanks to my good friend and one heck of a spurmaker and silversmith, Kevin Elkins from May, Texas.
This one’s name is Maggie –
looks a lot like my old Border Collie, Belle Starr that I had to put down last year.
