Elsie the Cow Comics #3

When Elmer decides to run for mayor against the bombastic Longhorn and Judge Heifferhoofer, he enlists pilot Teddy Tailspin for some creative sky-writing campaigning—but his schemes quickly backfire into a series of escalating mishaps that land him in court. As the three candidates clash and undermine each other, the real winner of the election may surprise them all. A riotous 1950 romp where ambition, hubris, and slapstick collide in hilarious fashion.

Elmer takes Beauregard, Lefty, Rusty, and the rest of the gang on an ambitious hiking expedition through the woods, armed with his tall tales of wilderness survival and frontier know-how.

It's a rollicking comedy of mishaps and comeuppance that proves sometimes the best outdoor adventure is the one that brings you back home with a few bumps and bruises.

It's a wild ride of mistaken intentions and escalating schemes that proves sometimes the real danger is what happens when you try too hard to dodge trouble.

When Elmer discovers Elsie traded their old phonebook for a new one—unaware he’d hidden twenty dollars between its pages—he’s determined to retrieve it, setting off a small but frantic chase through the barn. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, "Telephone Trouble" captures the quiet chaos of small animal lives with a perfectly timed mix of mistaken motives and barnyard wit.

A thirsty crow searches desperately for water during a severe drought, and discovers a pitcher with water too deep to reach—but ingenuity and persistence lead to an unexpected solution.
