Ribtickler #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeRibtickler #7 is a humor anthology featuring animal and comedy characters. One story follows woodland creatures—including a character named Chum, an anthropomorphic frog named Freddie, and other animal companions—as they devise a plan to deal with Freddie's tough "boss" and ultimately set a trap by luring him to bathe in what appears to be a tire filled with water, where the king arrives and disrupts their scheme. Another story titled "Longhorn Legends" by Old Ranny explains the evolution and practical development of the cowboy hat through years of trial and error on the frontier plains.
Cheerie Chick, a newly hatched chick, ventures into the wide world with wide-eyed wonder, discovering worms, ponds, and even trying to fly—only to learn the hard way that not everything in the world is meant for a little chick. Along the way, he stumbles into mishaps, from icy ponds to failed flights, each one teaching him a lesson about what he can and can’t do. As the day ends, he reflects on his adventures, wondering if he truly belongs in this big, confusing world.
In a nostalgic tale told by the grizzled storyteller Old Ranny, the evolution of the cowboy hat is traced from its early days on the frontier, where practical needs shaped its design through trial and error. From beaver fur hats that wore out quickly to the now-iconic ten-gallon hat, each change reflected the cowboy’s need for comfort, utility, and resilience across the harsh plains.
