Porky Pig #43

Aug 1972 · Western · 0.15 USD
“The Itch to Go Camping”

In "The Itch to Go Camping," Porky Pig’s latest scheme takes a nautical turn when he tries to win Petunia’s favor by pretending to captain Sam’s sailing ship—after being inspired by her fascination with snobbish Sidney Snout and his speedboat. With Tony Strobl’s expressive art and John Liggera’s crisp inks, this 1972 Western Comics gem captures Porky’s misadventures with classic slapstick charm, all under Phil De Lara’s playful cover.
