The Oakland Press Funny Book #October 8, 1978
In "The Clothes Horse," Wilma’s frustration with fur coats takes an unexpected turn when she spots Fred talking to Father O'Rocklyn, a priest on crutches. As Fred casually explains the injury—“He was in the way when the saints came marching in”—the moment hangs with quiet mystery. Written and illustrated by Gene Hazelton, with inking and coloring by Hazelton and Lee Hooper, this 1978 free comic from The Oakland Press features a whimsical, offbeat tone and a cover by Brad Anderson.
