“Proving Bears Don't Go For Gophers and Gophers Can Barely Bear Bears”

In "Proving Bears Don't Go For Gophers and Gophers Can Barely Bear Bears," the Our Gang crew sets out to claim a vacant lot for a game of baseball, only to find it piled high with junk. When they propose cleaning it up and selling the scrap, the rival Gashouse Gang steps in, eager to claim both the materials and the profit. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Walt Kelly—whose distinctive art defines the issue’s playful energy—this 1942 Dell classic captures the gang’s spirited determination in a story where teamwork and wits are the real game. The cover by Walt Kelly perfectly captures the chaos and humor of the moment.
