Nah. Chuck and Zed wouldn’t need to fight each other, they’re both assured in their own masculinity.
What I could see happening is that they form a team (TEAM AMERICA!) and divide the world in two, like what the Pope did between the (IIRC…) Spanish and the Dutch.
(think, the background of “Sbogun”)
What would each of these worthies do with their half of the political world? Whatever they damn well pleased. Who would stop them?
The Pope divided the New World between the Spanish and the Portuguese. Which is why most of Latin America speaks a variant of the latter language to this day.
As for the Dutch, they fought for independence from Spain for most of a century. (Eighty Years’ War, 1568-1648.) They ended up as a naval and mercantile power as a result.

I was one of those “rough men” for nearly 40 years. Started in a missile silo and finished in a HAZMAT suit. Spent a lot of time in between crawling through the mud and…other… stuff.

Ah, yes. The Duke, as Jacob McCandles. IMHO John Wayne’s best movie intro, and John Fain’s last mistake. Never cross a hard man backed by a hard woman.

Those eyes…how does Muir do that?
Could be a match made in heaven with this hot young firebrand, a hotter babe running his show, and an even hotter old dude who don’t play.
Oh yeah, some billions from the don don’t hurt neither.
To paraphrase something said about the other “Snake” (Plissken);
“Zed Owens could kick Chuck Norris’ ass.
“Actually, he wouldn’t even bother fighting Chuck Norris.
“He would just blow the f**k out of everything in the general direction of Chuck Norris.”
Or as Eric Arthur Blair (aka George Orwell) put it more decorously;
“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night, because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”

REALLY GLAD I’d put my coffee down before I read this strip…….that last panel would have had my monitor/wall sprayed…….
Absolutely love it!!!!!
“I thought you were dead!?”
He got better.

Go through their pockets for loose change?

“We must give them exactly what they have asked for.”
The sons didn’t understand that their mother meant a large dose of hot lead.
Which their father was more than willing to deliver.

“Not hardly.”
Yes, the Duke’s best movie, tied with El Dorado (1967).

I always preferred “The Quiet Man” as my favorite John Wayne movie (and having feisty Maureen O’Hara in it didn’t hurt)
I thought he was dead? (Running gag in Escape from New York 🙂
Zed’s reputation precedes him.
For some reason, I think a surprize visit to this sioree by Trump may be in this scenario.
