Bird Cowboy



Remember that story The Ugly Duckling? If you ever wondered what happened to the subject of that tale, this song will continue the story after he rides off into the sunset. Except here, he remains a duck instead of a swan. Except he's more than a just duck- he's a cowboy! Or rather, a Western gunslinger, because there's no cows in sight. Okay, he's a duck gunslinger who goes by the name Bird Cowboy. A story doesn't have to make sense when it's this good. You can almost hear Johnny Cash singing this. But it's from Mummy Joe, and the illustrations are both silly and adorable. (via Everlasting Blort

Later, he grew up to model on one of my favorite-ever bottles of wine, Duck Hunter, which shows a duck in camo carrying a rifle.
