The "Howdy" word bubble is basically saying "Hello there. Care for a challenge?" (but maybe it hasn't quite worked.) Funnily enough, I was originally going to have her wink but changed my mind after I drew the hat as I thought it might hide the opened eye, but I will try and see what I can do with the wink on sunday night (have to prepare for new job on monday .)
Actually..instead of "Howdy" maybe I could have her say "Next" instead....
I would definitely say this fits the theme--my guess is that this was a much more popular "showdown" than any other kind . Great idea, and the expression of the guy on the table is hilarious. Might be just me, but I'm not a huge fan of the word bubble, as it doesn't seem to fit with what's going on... maybe have her winking instead?

Lovely take on the theme, as always. Colors are a bit raw, but the guys in the back are teh shit!
