Porky Pig #50
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Rough Ride," Porky Pig takes a wild detour from his usual antics when he purchases an old hotel in the path of a new freeway, then hauls it 89 miles to Mirage Valley—only to have a confused prospector crash into it, convinced it's a mirage. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with lively art by Tony Strobl, with inks by Vic Lockman, this 1957 Dell comic delivers classic slapstick with a desert twist. The cover by Tony Strobl captures the absurdity perfectly, a 10-cent slice of vintage cartoon chaos.
Porky Pig’s latest venture takes a surreal turn when he relocates an old hotel from the freeway’s path to the dusty outskirts of Mirage Valley, 89 miles from Nowhere. After a confused prospector crashes into the building, convinced it’s a mirage, he insists on staying until his car’s repaired—leaving Porky to manage an unexpected guest in the middle of nowhere.
In "On with the Show," the hens grow fed up with their run-down chicken house and decide to strike out on their own in search of better digs. Henery, determined to keep them around, fakes a fancy hotel front to lure them back—only for Ollie to accidentally wreck the scheme.
