Porky Pig #35
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "It Shouldn’t Happen to a Dog!", Porky Pig befriends a curious calf who’s convinced he’s a dog, leading to a milk-stealing mystery in their neighborhood. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Tony Strobl, this 1954 Dell comic features a lighthearted chase and a tale of mistaken identity, with the calf proving he’s more than just a calf—though no one believes him. The cover by Tony Strobl captures the whimsy of the moment.
Porky Pig and his anxious companion Cicero take on a job they’re clearly not ready for, hired to track down the mysterious invisible monster haunting Looney Lake Lodge—though Porky’s reputation for bravery (which he’s never actually earned) is the only reason they got the gig. With the lodge’s guests and staff on edge, the duo must navigate the foggy shores and suspiciously quiet woods, all while trying to prove that the monster isn’t just a figment of overactive imaginations.
In a quirky neighborhood of talking animals, Porky Pig befriends a curious calf who insists he’s a dog—complete with barking and a nose for sniffing out trouble. When milk starts vanishing from doorsteps, the calf takes it upon himself to track down the thief, but no one believes a cow can be a detective, not even when he leads them straight to the culprit.
