Porky Pig #44
In "Guest Pest," Porky Pig takes on the role of dude ranch manager, only to find his quiet operation disrupted by a pair of enthusiastic Martians who’ve mistaken Earth’s westerns for real frontier life. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Tony Strobl, with inks by Steve Steere and colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this 1972 comic blends classic slapstick with sci-fi whimsy. The cover by Pete Alvarado and Bill Wright captures the absurd clash of worlds perfectly.
