Honkytonk Sue

Honkytonk Sue: The Queen of Western Swing is a comic character which first appeared in National Lampoon in 1977. It was created by Bob Boze Bell.^[1] Honkytonk Sue later appeared as a weekly comic strip in the Phoenix New Times from 1978 to 1980. Four comic books culled from these weekly strips were self-published by Bell, the first being published in 1978 and the fourth in 1980. The character was optioned by Columbia Pictures in 1983, and Larry McMurtry, among others, worked on scripts (four were created over a two-year period) for a Goldie Hawn vehicle, that was never made. Honkytonk Sue had a revival on the pages of True West Magazine in 2002 and ran for several years.
