☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains multiple hillbilly-themed humor stories. "Hank th' Hermit," drawn by Art Gates, follows a backwoods hunter who attempts to catch a bear by digging a trap pit, but mistakenly catches a woman in the hole instead, leading to comedic chaos when her male relatives arrive. In "Pokey," two young hillbillies plan to trap a gorilla by digging a pit, but their scheme goes awry when a woman falls into the hole, and the situation spirals into romantic complications involving mistaken identities and reconciliations. The issue also features other characters including Gumbo, Th' Macsleazy's, Hillside Hilda, and Lil Lem in additional short humor pieces.
A woman stuck at a remote boarding house desperately needs to contact her husband back home, but with no phones, telegraph, or reliable mail service, she seems out of luck—until the resourceful locals devise an ingenious solution, passing her message down the mountain and across the valley in a human relay that proves sometimes the oldest methods work best.
Two razor-blade salesmen try a bold marketing scheme to break into the bearded hills of Coonskin Hollow—pay the town's leaders to shave clean and let fashion do the rest. When the newly shaved men catch sight of themselves in a mirror, the plan backfires spectacularly, sending the entire town fleeing back to their beards for good.
