Four Color #370
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Trouble in the Big Trees," Porky Pig and his mischievous friend Cicero are unexpectedly called upon to save the day when a photo misleads the government into thinking Porky is a master tree surgeon. Sent to Big Tree National Park to diagnose the ailing "General Smedley," the world’s oldest redwood, they discover the real culprit behind the damage: a persistent woodpecker causing trouble in the ancient canopy. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Fred Abranz, with a cover by Ralph Heimdahl, this 1952 Four Color adventure blends humor and nature in a charming, offbeat tale.
In "Trouble in the Big Trees," Porky’s honest repair of Petunia’s tree leads to a mix-up when Cicero’s photo misrepresents it as a giant, prompting the government to send Porky to Big Tree National Park. There, he and Cicero must uncover the cause of distress in "General Smedley," the world’s oldest redwood, as a persistent woodpecker wreaks havoc on its trunk.
Porky and Sylvester, window washers with a 50-cent-a-window deal, find themselves tangled in a far bigger job than they bargained for when they’re tricked into cleaning every pane of a massive apartment building—only to stumble upon a smuggling ring using the high-rise as their hideout.
In a whimsical twist of textile trouble, Petunia’s thoughtful gift to Porky—her handmade sweater—becomes the unexpected centerpiece of a sewing club contest, only to be lost to Beaky Buzzard and a hungry moth. Now, with time running short, Porky and Sylvester take up knitting in a frantic attempt to recreate the sweater, their clumsy efforts turning a simple project into a hilariously tangled endeavor.
