One of the comics I enjoyed as a youngster was The Rawhide Kid<\/em>. The Rawhide Kid was young and quick with a gun. He was thought to be an outlaw. He wasn’t.\u00a0 The Kid traveled from town to town, stayed long enough to right a wrong and then moved on. He never drew his gun first, was shy and even drank milk. The Rawhide Kid had a real cool “costume” that was easily recognizable. Sure, he sounds like a clich\u00e9, but don’t most kids’ comics when you break them down into essentials? At any rate, The Rawhide Kid was a great role model for a young ‘un like myself. <\/span><\/p>\n When the western craze died out, so did The Rawhide Kid<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n Now he’s returning in a new mini-series called “Slap Leather.”<\/i> I can’t recommend it though. See, Marvel<\/em> has decided to make The Rawhide Kid gay… not that there is anything wrong with being gay. My problem with the series is: And consider this… if the argument is that it will give a role model to young gay kids… how is it going to make the kids feel when they realize that the “hero” is being treated as the punchline?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the comics I enjoyed as a youngster was The Rawhide Kid.

\n1) They’re approaching it as a joke. You know, NOW we know why he was shy and moved from town to town * wink* *wink*…
\n2) If they wanted to create a gay cowboy, why not create a new character instead of one that has been around for nearly 50 years?<\/span><\/p>\n
