Working on an idea I've had for some time. What if the real Wyatt Earp ran into an Old West re-enactor in Vegas at Cowboy Christmas? What would the Sass-head say to the infamous lawman and legendary Westerner? I think I know:
Meanwhile, the posting of the front page of the parody paper The Cilbuper yesterday brought back memories for a former employee of the Arizona Republicwho was there when the issue hit the streets in March of 1974:
"That edition of the The Arizona Cilbuper featured ndavid’s off-color parody of Kearny’s weekly highschool/college football predictions that got ndavid fired from the Republic. Kearny loved it, but it really PO’d the art dept director!"
—Gus "The Mapinator" Walker
Here, for your viewing pleasure is ndavid's (this kid's name was ndavid, no really, pronounced n-david) spot on parody of Kearny Egerton's weekly sports predictions cartoons:
I had forgotten that the poor kid got fired over this. I wonder where he is today?
"Can't recall."
—Wyatt Earp's typical answer to direct questions about the O.K. corral, according to Iron Eyes Cody
