Where are the galloping (war)horses? They must have been frightened off and scared out of their living daylight by the sound and fury of firing guns at high noon . . . . .
Everybody knows the Queen has the real advantage, though. The sheriff can only take one step at a time. Jacob should be able to beat a hasty diagonal retreat easily!

Your cartoon does open up to several interpretations… which is what all good creative outputs should do. Loved it!

Looks like Jacobs is “straight on” and the sheriff has an “angle”. Maybe that is why the sheriff wins?? 🙂
