Das war Roy Bean

This frontier justice comic seems to believe its own saloon-law is the law of the land. In a lawless patch of Texas, a flamboyant judge turns his courtroom into a one-man town hall, meting out sentences with a sense of theater no statute ever required. Admittedly it runs a little long for a hanging judge.
