“Barney Bear Becomes a Hobo!”

In "Barney Bear Becomes a Hobo!", the Our Gang crew takes on the role of reporters during a citywide blackout, with Froggy’s accidental help leading to a surprising twist. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and brought to life with energetic art by Walt Kelly—pencils, inks, and letters all by the same hand—this 1942 Dell classic captures the gang’s spirited antics with a touch of wartime whimsy. The cover, also by Kelly, perfectly captures the playful chaos of the story.
