Gunfight at the Haywire Blacksmith Shop by Donald Artz Pdf

Thought-provoking, humorous, and only a half-step away from reality, this collection of short stories by Donald Artz tours the reader through a world of delightfully flawed characters, bizarre scenarios, and overly bureaucratic solutions. The pieces span genres and history, offering a diverse look at the types of problems that have niggled humanity since the beginning of time. The first two stories are fun Western spoofs, taking us to the town of Haywire, where cowboys wearing overly tight hats use their guns and acting skills to settle age-old debates concerning physics and the cosmos. The next chapter stars a former military and maritime rescue helicopter pilot who, shortly after his retirement, is faced by absurd rules and outlandish claims that interfere with his ability to help others. In Chapter 4, people in the great country of Um are facing national unrest due to greed, which has caused economic inequality, homelessness, and all-around misery. Everything seems to go well when the government abolishes all greedy behaviors—that is, until a mysterious space object triggers some old feelings. The final chapter takes us back to 1495 BCE, where the Shaw’k Mou’-ned, captain of the Pride of Sidon, makes an unfortunate (but completely understandable) error in judgment that leads to some lessons learned. Short, sweet, and packed with allegories, Gunfight at the Haywire Blacksmith Shop will make you laugh as you ponder the joys and follies of being human.

He remembers the near-death of the comics, and the scramble to survive. And he reveals what it was like to bring comics out of their infancy, as they became an American art form.
