"Porky of the Mounties" is a delightfully zany 1944 adventure from Carl Barks, who both draws and inks this charming tale of mistaken identity and cross-border mischief. When Porky’s summer romance with Petunia takes a turn for the absurd—after a week of silence, he dons a Mountie costume to a masquerade—wind, a runaway boxcar, and a Canadian misunderstanding send him on a wild ride. Barks’ expressive art brings the slapstick chaos to life, all in a 10-cent comic that captures the spirit of wartime escapism.

There, Porky’s disguise as a Mounted Policeman lands him in the middle of a mix-up with Petunia’s uncle, setting off a series of comic misunderstandings.
