Porky Pig #46
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Grandpa Gruntly's Telephone Mystery," Porky Pig and Petunia join forces with the bedridden Grandpa Gruntly—Cooley Corners’ one-man town hall—to unravel a mix-up that sends the whole community into a panic. When a radio broadcast is mistaken for a real threat, chaos erupts over a banker’s "Hard Times" party, and the trio must sort out the truth before the town’s nerves snap. Fred Abranz handles the art and inks, while the cover by Tony Strobl and John Liggera captures the zany mood of the mystery.
When Porky and Petunia visit Cooley Corners to help Grandpa Gruntly—town constable, lamp lighter, dog catcher, and telephone operator, all while recovering from a broken leg—they accidentally misinterpret a radio broadcast as a dire threat against the town’s banker, who’s hosting a “Hard Times” party. The mix-up sets off a series of frantic, fur-flipping misunderstandings in this 1956 slice of anthropomorphic chaos.
