BW is Dead All Along
- This one is barely a guess. She seems to know the history of the town well despite seeming youth, can't get over her own demons, hangs out in the graveyard, does Offscreen Teleportation, and creates illusions at will. It does raise the question of how a ghost gets possessed, but still.
- The bandages on parts of her body suggest that she's supposed to be a mummy, so she might at least be undead.
- Alternatively, BW may actually be ancient, but in possession of an Elixir of Life maintaining her youthful appearance.
BW knew Rawhide's father while he was still alive
- Aside from enjoying pushing her buttons, it would explain why Rawhide doesn't deserve her respect. It's been stated that Rawhide's father was one of the Gulch's most revered sheriffs. BW likely had a lot of respect for him, and is disappointed in his successors' destructive nature. Only when Rawhide starts to take after her father and undergo Character Development will she finally deserve BW's respect.
Ronnette is a Tragic Keepsake
- Snag is so attached to Ronnette because she used to belong to someone important to him, and is all he has left of that person.
- Further, we only find this out in a Whole Episode Flashback about how Snag and Rawhide met.
Snag is a Half-Fish Half-Human Hybrid
He has Animal Motifs consisting of a fang, vaguely greenish skin, fin-like hair and most suspiciously what appear to be spines/fins on his back. Even his name seems to suggest this.
Pinchly and Squatch will become the token Heterosexual Life-Partners of the series
Much like Henchmen 21 and 24, Sheriff Blubbs and Deputy Durland, and countless other pairs in animation, they will become Those Two Guys who eventually become almost main cast.
Cliffside is a neighboring town
Because somebody was going to make this theory.
The city Snag came from has a higher population of humans
In the universe this series is set in it might be that most humans went to live in the cities leaving small towns like the gulch to become the living grounds for primarily all other walks of life.- Maybe that's why the place is called Long Gone Gulch, after all.
Mako got his scars during a fight with Rawhide's dad
It's a stretch but it's possible. The two clearly had some kind of history.Snag was a runaway
After his and Rawhide's falling out, he spent the night at the saloon, his family nowhere to be seen. The rest of his family may still be in the city, but then why is he living so far away from them at such a young age? There's a few possibilities: A) he fled from the city, B) he was banished, C) he is an escaped convict from Juvenile Hell who first came to the gulch to hide out. Snag decided to seek redemption by becoming a sheriff and fighting crime alongside Rawhide, who either knows about Snag's past and his actively helping him atone, or will be in for a shock when she discovers that an "outlaw" has been right under her nose the whole time and this puts their friendship in jeopardy (although the fact that Snag mentions being in juvie around her suggests the former).The Gulch and its residents are Trapped in the Past
Expanding on the theory that the Gulch was abandoned by humans long ago, the creatures that would inhabit it continue to live The Wild West type of lifestyle while other places became modernized, or at least more advanced with the times. That would explain why Snag stands out from the rest of the gulch's residents.- Rawhide got a collectible figurine made of her and on the website's product description page it describes the Gulch as "a mysterious land trapped inside a dust cloud, home to many mythical creatures". Take that however you will.
There has to be a Big Bad, and he will be the one who killed Rawhide's dad. What better creature to be pure evil than a Wendigo with a gang so fierce that Mako would work with the sheriffs as an ally?
In comparison to the Gulch, the city is also more-or-less "high tech" and "modern"
The saloon has a rather fancy-looking jukebox in it. This possibly implies a bit of electricity unless the universe runs on some magic-based alternative to make mechanical things run such as that and the ceiling fan. Most objects could just be there to keep a traditional vibe as opposed to something such as Marigold using a computer(Probably a bulky and dated desktop but a computer nonetheless) instead of the typewriter she is portrayed with.
The plague doctor vulture seen in the saloon is in fact an actual doctor
The reason he kicks Rhubarb is because he detests the mayor's health care plans. I mean, you know it's bad when Mako offered cheaper health care after taking over the town with an iron fist!Squatch was a former sheriff
There is a big hole in his hat that may or not have been from a bullet. Another piece of evidence: why would Rhubarb give Pinchley the new sheriff job when Squatch seems more level-headed? It's possible Squatch was already a sheriff but is now retired. Or worse, he quit due to something traumatic that he witnessed in the line of duty.Pinchley and Squatch are reincarnations of Wander and Hater
Wander became a talking cactus to fit in better with the gulch scenery, and also because of the affinity he had with that flower. His All-Loving Hero tendencies are the reason he let Mako and his goons out of jail. As he says, he messed up. Meanwhile, Hater gained back his flesh and became a better person, but still finds himself annoyed by Wander/Pinchley at times. That, or he's stuck with him as punishment for deeds he committed as a galactic conquerer.
