“Cowboys and Indians” was published by Ed-U-Cards in 1960.  It featured soberly rendered illustrations of cowboys and Indians, six-shooters and tommyhawks — and one cowgirl.

    Good googamooga! I’m no mathmetician, but her body to head ratio seems remarkable!!! And her feet look kind of little.

    She’s quite a piece of work, isn’t she? And yet she’s still drawn in the style and technique of classic illustration. Maybe the artist spent time in fashion illustration, where strange anatomy is all too common.

    I think they drew her legs that long so the horse could borrow her pants. Reminds me a really creepy thing a guy said to me once…”Do those legs go all the way up?”

    she is a real drag queen bee-atch, EXACTLY a fashion illustrator’s dream. Many of them were my buddies at art school. I’m surprised that she doesn’t have longer eyelashes drawn in , or heavy red lipstick. She already has the cheekbones
