It's the 1870's.  President Grant is in office, the American flag only has 37 stars on it, and United States secret service agents James West and Artemus Gordon are dispatched from Washington, DC to maintain law and order in the Old West.  Such was the premise of CBS' The Wild, Wild West, a fantastic program that ran for four seasons starting in 1965.  The first season was (unfortunately) shot in black and white, and the other three were in full color.  But this was no ordinary western, and West and Gordon were no ordinary agents.  The Wild, Wild West is, almost literally, "James Bond on horseback," and beneath its cowboys and Indians exterior you'll find a most wacky, steampunk-y, glamorous and fun bit of television.

I made these a while ago for a thread in OG's art forum, using the South Park Studio, and then customizing them myself in Paint.  Some I posted, others I didn't, mostly because some other versions (better or worse) were already there and I didn't feel like being redundant (even if I thought my versions were better, lol!)  I've had recurrent thoughts about using them to make silly parody cartoons, but haven't for lack of time and a really good idea.  So I'm just putting them up here for laughs.
