Bob Colt #1

When Sappy Sutter is sent into town to buy notebook paper for Mr. Beems, his hilariously vague understanding of the task leads him straight into confusion at the general store.

Chuck Waggin catches the bully Bully Groves roughing up the smaller Thompson and steps in to stop him—but when Groves challenges Chuck's toughness, our hard hombre responds with some frontier humor that leaves the bully thoroughly deflated. It's a quick dose of western justice and wisecracks from the pages of 1950.
