Lotta big larfs in this baby. The absolute highlight is a sequence were Olive Oyl gets captured by cattle rustlers how force her to cook for them. She finds a gun and every time a rustler comes to check on her, she shoots them in the shoulder and dumps the unconscious body in the cellar. I was holwin'.

Some great comics here. The Sunday strips don't work quite as well as the dailies. They don't build a story the way the dailies do, and they sometimes feel repetitive. But the daily strips are absolutely fantastic. One strip makes me laugh aloud every time I think of it. It's part of a sequence where the characters are out west. In it, a bandit is attempting to rob Olive, and it consists of six panels of Olive yelling "Help" while throwing increasingly large rocks/boulders at the bandit. No punch line, but really funny nonetheless.
