A FEW YEARS AFTER COWBOY CHEESE WAS CREATED, HE APPEARED IN A BIWEEKLY COMIC STRIP FOR A SMALL COLLEGE  PUBLICATION CALLED THE DIAMOND. HIS SIDEKICK "THE HUMBLE BEAN" WAS INSPIRED BY A COFFEE SHOP ON CAMPUS BY THE SAME NAME. HERE ARE A FEW SAMPLES FROM THOSE EARLY DAYS.

COWBOY CHEESE INSPIRED SOME FAN ART. A WHILE BACK, NATHAN MADE A COMIC FEATURING THE IMAGINED ARCH NEMESIS OF COWBOY CHEESE - THE BANDIT BANANA AND HIS SIDEKICK STRING BEAN.
