We Will Always Need A Scooby Doo!

Maybe not literally. But there always has been, and always will be, an epidemic of bad persons using faux supernatural threats to scare folks into giving up their property and such.

Even in the old west...

I like the way Two-Gun Lil's gun seems to shoot out different colored bullets...

Grizzled prospector Hank Trott has been scared out of his poor fool mind, it seems...

Well, that was enough to give Trott the trots, so Lil goes to investigate...

Suspicious, sure...but what could he really want?

Further investigation shows:

Well, Lil goes into action, laying a trap worthy of Freddy and Velma:

You know, the colorist didn't really help here, apparently forgetting to make it nighttime...

Still, Lil's plan is aces!

Fortunately, this Scooby Gang can shoot!!

And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for that meddlin' cowgirl!!
