Barnyard Comics #23

Barney Rooster gets a scheme cooking when he learns that Snooze has bought a shiny new television set—and he'll stop at nothing to get his talons on it. In "One-Man Show," written and illustrated by the creative team at Barnyard Comics, Barney tries every trick in the book, from rigging a fake election to sneaking into the set itself to sabotage it from within. It's a wild ride of slapstick schemes and unexpected consequences that'll have you laughing at how badly his plans can backfire.

Hucky Duck has never experienced a carnival before, so when his friend Barney Rooster invites him to ride the merry-go-round and ferris wheel, he eagerly accepts—but a nagging question about why one has music and the other doesn't quickly spirals into an obsession that takes him on an increasingly wild journey. What starts as innocent curiosity becomes an all-consuming quest that pulls in radio experts, corporate executives, and even the company owners themselves, all trying to solve Hucky's seemingly simple question.

When Professor Bacon insists that Barney Rooster and Hucky Duck trade their love of food for intellectual pursuits, he decides to teach them history—starting with the Trojan War. The enthusiastic pupils build their own wooden horse model to better understand the lesson, but when they store it in Snooze's barn, the clever pair puts an ancient strategy to modern use. As history repeats itself in the most barnyard way possible, Professor Bacon finds himself caught between his educational ambitions and the very real consequences of his well-meaning scheme.

Robin Hood Robin embarks on what seems like a straightforward rescue when a lovestruck sparrow seeks his aid in winning over the beautiful Maggie Magpie—only to find himself entangled with a genuine threat when a Dragon claims the fairest maiden in the land must become his bride. As Robin navigates this unusual challenge, his clever schemes and the sparrow's unexpected heroism combine in ways that turn the whole situation on its head, proving that sometimes the real rescue isn't what it appears to be.
