Wow, is that Bleeding Cowboy? I sure haven’t seen that font in a while! What’s the other one called? The one that the rainbow vomited on? It’s even more westerny than the Bleeding Cowboy, how is that even possible?
Yes, it’s Bleeping Cowboys plural — I think the trauma of seeing that font releases an amnesia-inducing endorphine in some brains (like mine), trying to erase the memory. (Or I could have Old Timers’ Disease.)

Love the old-west building with modern gutters & downspouts.

I hate to say it, but it looks like psychedelic Western is indeed a thing.
Peyote is native to Mexico and southwestern Texas.
Jimsonweed is native to much of North America.
There is a strong possibility that “Psychedelic Western” was a real thing.
(But “Last Rites of Ransom Pride” was just a bad movie — blame Canada.)
Actually, that’s not a bad cover at all. The old west building immediately says old west and the lettering enhances the concept. The only negative is the rainbow coloring. It takes away from the old west concept.

I move we start calling that font Bleeping Cowboy. I hates it! I hates it! I hates it forever! My least precious.
Wait, so is that font really called Bleeding Cowboy, or is that just some inside joke I don’t know about?
I wish I could say it was a joke, but it is an actual modern font that resembles nothing you would have seen in 1800s typography.
I am tempted to call it the “Lash LaRue Font” from the whip-like flourishes.
Feast your eyes on this beauty. I love that tail, it’s so random.
Oh, actually, it’s Bleeding Cowboys. That’s even worse. One bleeping cowboy was bearable, but two?

There is a strong disconnect with the duller that toast background photo and the hellzapoppin’ fonts though.
Finally, the Full House western fanfic I’ve been so desperately searching for.
That’s the first thing I noticed too, haha.
Psychedelic Western has been a thing for quite a while:

Oh, it was a thing long before that:
