Humphrey Comics #9

In "Rodeo Riot," Humphrey the blacksmith finds himself unexpectedly drawn into the wild world of the rodeo after impressing a group of cowboys with his strength. Though he tries his hand at the rough-and-tumble competition, his gentle nature and insatiable appetite quickly turn the event into a series of chaotic, hilarious misadventures.

In "The Pie-Eating Contest," Humphrey pedals his bicycle to Joe Palooka's training camp, towing a homemade shed trailer—only to be fleeced by a passing hobo. Stranded and starving, he stumbles into a small town where fate (or hunger) leads him to a pie-eating contest, where he quickly proves he’s got more than just a stomach for the challenge.
