Welcome back!  Or maybe just welcome.  Hi?  How are you?

“What happened to the rodeo?” you may be asking.  Or maybe “WHERE DA RODEO AT”.

Remember Wednesday when I said we wanted the first comic to be “unmistakably us”?  Well, we’re still us, but today we’re introducing you to our geeky, immature side.  It’s probably the biggest side I have.

I also said Wednesday that you may never see a rodeo in the strip again.  That may be true, but rodeos are only the glamorous, saddle-tooled tip of a vast rural culture iceberg.  You will still see cows, corn fields, and crazies here.  If I can’t escape them, neither can you.

Other webcomics do dick and fart jokes.  We prefer to pave our own way.  We think we’ve found a veritable treasure trove of untapped comedy.  A humor-filled cavity, of the nasal variety.  (We will also do dick and fart jokes.)

Today’s comic was the first Mud County Rodeo I drew.  This was before I had a decent handle on what we would look like in illustrated form.  If you stick with us over the next few updates you may be able to notice the progression from the art you see here to what you see in the site header and in the most recently drawn comic here.
