The morning sun shines down on Cowboy Ant returning from an unusually torturous aphid drive. He is zooming along in his Moxie 0-23 full boogie tilt as he cruises into the outskirts of Tangleweed, a large seething metropolis inhabited by millions of insects, and yes, not unlike people in their manners and morals…

So Began the Anguished Adventures of Cowboy Ant.

Cowboy Ant is a whirlwind of action. Even kind of fun. And it’s also a little angry. OK it’s a bit more than that. But, it’s for a good reason.

Let’s not jump too far ahead just yet. Cowboy Ant is not exactly a “bug with no name.” Though without notice this “every ant” becomes embroiled in a local crisis where it quickly becomes apparent that there is a lot more going on than it appears. Enter the evil chemical company Monseedo Labs. They’ve been busy undermining local farmers and suing them for illegally using their genetically modified seeds. Sound familiar? Ripped from the headlines of modern times, Cowboy Ant is the hero that just won’t let things go. And along the way he makes a powerful and dangerous enemy.

So pull the saddle off your aphid and belly up to some bug juice, it’s time to hear a tale fit for any camp fire on the open trail.

Originally found in the pages Boone’s Native Seed Company, an artistic adventure unto itself, we’ve also created a feature section in the comic of the great art by cover artist David Larson and myself, Daniel Gallant.
