Porky Pig #37

In "The Candidate," Porky Pig finds himself in a sticky situation when his car breaks down on a remote mountain road while en route to finalize a cabin deal. With Elmer in tow, the duo treks through the woods, only to hide their money in a tree before being confronted by a pair of suspicious tramps. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Fred Abranz, this 1971 Western Comics tale delivers classic slapstick tension with a touch of rural suspense. The cover, by Phil De Lara, captures the moment just before the encounter, setting the scene with a perfectly timed, slightly ominous stillness.
