I well remember the "teasers" . . . prior to the start of the "Rick O'shay" strip in the Chicago newspaper . . . . and my anxious awaiting the appearance of the first of the stip.   I was GREAT !   

I gave a pair of '51 Colts and the SASS name   "Slipshot Pur Cussin" to a buddy of mine who was a great fan of the strip.    Unfortunately he passed away with ever having the chance to use his pistols much.   

He and my "Beth Rider" have memorial crosses in the cemetery at White Horse Ranch.

I miss them both. . . . . .  :'(

Beware the man with one gun, he probably knows how to use it.

Dang!  :'( I first started reading Rick O'Shay in the Great Falls (Montana) Tribune, when I was stationed there in the Air Force in 1965.  When I completed my tour and moved to Denver in 1969, I don't recall if they had it in the paper(s) there. We had a colonel who wore a handlebar mustache. Off-duty, he usually went around in blue jeans, cowboy boots, a dark blue sweatshirt and a Stetson hat. He was tall and thin, and (behind his back, of course) everyone called him "Hipshot"! I was standing in maintenance job control one night. They kept the room dark, with illuminated status boards. The colonel quietly walked in the door and stood behind me. I didn't really pay attention to who was standing there until I turned around and saw him. I nearly threw my hands up!  ;D

Anyway, Stan, say hello to Charlie Russell up there! RIP
