Cow Puncher

Cow Punchers solve their problems with their fists, whether it's shaking them at a disagreeable feller in a disreputable saloon or using them to punch a slightly more disagreeable feller in a slightly less reputable saloon.   Ever since The Cows Came Home, the territory of Loathing has been terrorized by roaming herds of bovine hellspawn, which means it's down to folks like you to make the land safe again. Well, safe as can be expected of a sparse conglomeration of near lawless towns surrounded by hundreds of miles of untamed, monster-infested wilderness.
