Sharpy Fox #14
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains multiple animal-themed comic stories. One story features Robinson the duck encountering a group of cannibals on a beach who pursue him with spears; Robinson eventually escapes and reaches a boat where he encounters the head chef, leading to comedic misunderstandings about his fate. Another story involves Alfred the dog and his companion Bub, where Alfred creates a "hang-dog effect" leash invention intended as a practical joke, but the scheme backfires when Bub uses it against him. The stories showcase slapstick humor and chase sequences typical of mid-century funny animal comics.
Old Ranny settles in to tell young Buttons the fascinating history of how the cowboy hat came to be, tracing its evolution from the impractical beaver fur hats that early settlers brought west, through a city hat maker's attempts to design something suitable for ranch life, to the eventual triumph of the wide-brimmed, high-crowned "ten gallon" hat that proved perfect for everything from shading the sun to watering horses. Along the way, Ranny spins tales of the feuds that erupted when felt hats threatened the beaver trappers' livelihood, and recounts some of the colorful variations and uses cowboys found for their headgear out on the range.
