Fawcett's Funny Animals #17
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue features several animal-themed comic stories. One story follows Billy and Oscar, who pursue the bandit Pancho after he robs a stagecoach; they track him to a small town where Pancho plans to fight a bull, but Billy and Oscar devise a shortcut to catch him at the arena. Another story depicts Daisy the animal attempting to fish, with comedic results as she struggles to catch fish in the water.
Billy and Oscar head into wild country for a camping trip, but when Billy realizes they might be lost, Oscar reveals his unconventional solution: a homing pigeon with a ball of string attached to lead them back home. It's a resourceful—if unorthodox—substitute for the compass Oscar forgot to pack.
When Benny Beaver decides to take a theater manager at his word about getting "any seat in the theatre for 10¢," his guardian angel has to step in and teach this literal-minded beaver a lesson about common sense. It's a classic case of misunderstanding that lands Benny in hot water—and earns him a well-deserved scolding from his celestial guide.
A little pig named Paul hoards mountains of paper while his town faces a shortage during wartime—until a dream shows him just how selfishly he's acting and what the salvage effort really means. Through Paul's awakening, this 1944 story delivers a message about conservation that speaks directly to readers about their own responsibility to the war effort. It's a charming reminder wrapped in anthropomorphic comedy that sometimes we all need to see the bigger picture.
