I Had No Idea There Was Once a TK Ryan-Designed College Mascot



This is not only "not comics," it's old, so please indulge me. A couple of oblique references in articles today about mascots being swapped out led me to this 2005 article, about a cowboy mascot named "Rustler Sam" that served as the official representative of Golden West College in Huntington Beach.

There's a lot that amuses here: Tumbleweeds creator TK Ryan's grumpy response at being told Rustler Sam was riding into the sunset, the thought that at one time there was a school out there that had this skeevy-looking of a mascot, and that at one point, as pictured above, Sam stopped smoking and got a shave.
