Ace Reid was the creator of a cartoon called, "Cowpokes." He was the quintessential Texas cartoonist. Ace was born in 1925 near Amarillo, Texas. Here's a sample of his work:
I'm a 4th generation Texan, born and bred deep in the heart of Texas. I was baptized in BBQ sauce, taught the state song at age 6 and my bride's bouquet was a handful of bluebonnets. I can recite the story of the battle of the Alamo by heart and I can cry whenever I have to cross the state line. My boots are worn down from doing the Texas Two Step and cream gravy runs through my veins. I'm a Texan through and through.
