I just watched two of my favorite humorous westerns, Support Your Local Sheriff, and Support Your Local Gunfighter.
Two flicks that always warm my heart.
But why only two?
It occurred to me there should be a trilogy. We live in a world of trilogies. Trilogies are all around us. If you find two of something you can rest assured a third is nearby.
What is the Statue of Limitations for a trilogy? How much time is allowed to pass before the party of the third part is no longer included within the part of the first two parts?

I agree, you can't leave undertaking out of the trilogy, it just ain't fair. Like a fellow freshman used to answer the phone, "Joe's Morgue. You stab em, we slab em." Is probably the most lucrative job in the Old West towns.
Get busy on that plot right away. How deep do you want me to dig it? We hit bedrock at 12 inches.
