It's funny.
The western I thoroughly enjoyed reading was Winnetou. You probably don't even know that. It's a story written by a German author who never actually travelled across the big pond. He wrote the story of the friendship between a native American and a German immigrant, who started as a Greenhorn and quickly worked his way up to a seasoned scout (Old Shatterhand). The story is written from a first person perspective. The funniest bits are when the explorers of the wild west are sitting around the fireplace, trading stories about the famous Old Shatterhand when the man is sitting right in the middle of the group and still believed to be a greenhorn.
My favorite movie is "Two Mules for Sister Sarah", which is funny rather than violent.
You're western heroes found a different (and I'm guessing more realistic) solution to their problems. Well done.
