Beauty Reynolds Saves The Day
Beauty Reynolds clattered into the hidden campsite, rifle drawn. The sound of hooves thudding on baked earth sprang the two outlaws into wakefulness immediately. A six gun appeared in Morgan Jones’ right hand instantaneously, even as his left protectively grasped the satchel filled with crisp dollar bills, freshly looted from the Nevada Bank. Meanwhile Suggs Martin sleepily roused himself and seized his Winchester repeater. Keeping his gun trained on Beauty, Jones’ mouth curled into a sneer. “You got nerve riding into our camp, sister.” he told the buckskin-skirted woman sitting astride the white stallion. “But you are tangling with two armed men on the run, so why don’t you turn your pretty little caboose around and head back to your sewing before I put a bullet in it?”
Beauty let her own rifle nestle easily across her lap as she met Jones’ eyes. She heard the click of Suggs’ safety behind her, but didn’t even react. “You know, owlhoot,” she replied with a confident smile spreading across her face, “I would - if I thought you could.” Morgan glared at the woman then. “Why you…” he began, and squeezed his trigger, aiming at Beauty’s ankle. But the trigger clicked harmlessly. As the dark-haired woman raised her own rifle, Jones panicked. “Suggs!” he ordered. “Misfire! Shoot her!” Beauty didn’t even turn around as she heard Suggs curse when his rifle also failed to fire. Beauty grinned and she dropped several slugs on the dry earth at her horse’s feet. “Looking for these, gents?” she said to the two dumbfounded outlaws, smiling sweetly.
*****
Later, Beauty checked the tightness of the ropes that bound both men’s hands hands behind their backs and then fastened Jones’ bonds to those of Martin, roping both despondent outlaws together. The shamed and humiliated men stared at the ground as Beauty then tied the end of the lariat to her saddlehorn. “My fiancé sitting in Tumbleweed’s jail house is going to be mighty pleased to see you two varmints.” the woman told her prisoners. “Not to mention the sheriff and Nevada Bank!” Beauty patted the satchel and laughed. Then she coaxed her horse forward. “Giddap, Blanco,” she said and her steed set off at a trot, pulling the two bound and miserable outlaws behind the victorious female rider and her steed.
My interpretation of the story behind this cover to Western Bandit Trails , Vol 1, #9 (1954), art by Matt Baker.

This is the Buddy for March 22nd. It's a gif. I basically just drew the body and part of the face, then added multiple other layers with different mouth and eyebrow positions. It doesn't look too accurate, but, I'd say it's as good as South Park, at least.
When I was planning on writing a book with Buddy as a character, he was portrayed as a chain-smoking, misogynistic incel. This is partly because Buddy is based on some people I knew in high school, but also, I'm afraid, because he's partly based on me.
It's weird but, I think if my life had turned out just a bit different, I'd be part of the manosphere.
I've been checking out a book called It's a Man's World: Me's Adventure Magazines, the Postwar Pulps. I was interested in the relationship between those adventure magazines and the more beloved Science Fiction and comic books, especially since a lot of artists would do work for all of them.
The art is interesting, for sure.
But I assumed, having only seen some covers and shallow details online, that the content of the magazines would be wholesome adventure stories and quaint softcore pin-ups. I was surprised to see how much of it was focused on masculine neuroses - quack cures for impotence and frigidity, how to figure out if your wife's cheating on you, your wife's lesbian tendencies, your gay tendencies, how to lose weight, bulk up, communists stealing your women, teenagers stealing your women, women stealing your women, crossdressers stealing your women, why no woman wants a virgin, how to build muscle, fluoride causes impotence, and nonsense like that.
For instance, this example of male paranoia:
Tumblr media
I'd have assumed that back in the fifties, men didn't need to worry about those non-issues. Didn't that only start when feminism ruined society?
Seems to me like even back then, people were complaining about threats to masculinity. It's almost like that paranoia wasn't a reaction to losing their stance in society.

"18 million on U.S. blacklist -- how about you?"

Amazingly Blue Book magazine was published under different names / guises / angles from 1905 to 1975. Helluva run!
