More from The Rifleman. As a kid, the relationship between the sloe-eyed son and his just-but-violent father fascinated me.

The kid almost seemed developmentally disabled...as well as emotionally vulnerable.

(p.s. it's the Sheriff and the son I've drawn above...son thinks his dad is dead--terrible job on the son, BTW, but I taped the episode and I'm going to get him right!)
