Life is Tough for an Atomic Cowgirl

You would think that being an atomic cowgirl in the Old West would be a breeze. After all, you have awesome, nuclear-powered weapons, and you're superstrong to boot. But that doesn't mean you'll be taken seriously.

Winston Rowntree's text-laden webcomic Subnormality frequently features demonic ladies, a world-weary sphinx, and the drunken bonding between Metroid's Samus and Tomb Raider Lara Croft. In this installment, he introduces us to Shango the Atomic Cowgirl, whose most fearsome foe is prejudice and society's strict adherence to traditional gender roles.
