Rawhide Vindaloo w/ Commentary, Page 3


   Rawhide turns, and we meet LeCASTOR, THE BALDING BOY BEAVER. Look, here, on that bottom panel, and you can see his beaver tail. I kind of reads like it's part of his long coat, but it's more clearly a tail later.

   He enters the बड़ा दालान. I also traced this one from a movie set, the big saloon establishing shot. It is an establishing shot of not just this bar but of the entire Rawhide universe. The scene here in the bar really does sum the entire thing up. How the genetics work, with that giant anthropomorphized Venus Flytrap there. It's drinking its mugs with its feet, cleverest thing ever.

   We debated a lot over the name of the horse gang. It was going to Wyld Sttallyns at first, in homage to both Bill and Ted and biker gangs, but then I realized that the head pony's name should be "Tony Pony" instead of Pony Bill as reported on page 11.
