In "Droopy the News(paper) Hound," Professor Putter's beloved record has worn through to a chaotic flip side, leaving his robot Herman humming a melody without instruments—until the professor devises a machine to turn Herman's hums into a full orchestral performance. Written by Carl Fallberg and illustrated by John Carey, with inks and colors by Carey and the Western Publishing Production Shop, this 1966 Western Comics gem features a whimsical mix of invention and unintended consequences. The cover by Harvey Eisenberg captures the zany spirit of the story.

Jerry and Tuffy dream of the big top, but with no circus tickets in sight, they decide to build their own—complete with a makeshift tent, a few clever tricks, and an unwilling star in the form of Tom. When Tom gets roped into the act, the whole thing spirals into a chaotic, crowd-pleasing spectacle that’s equal parts mischief and mayhem.

Professor Putter’s beloved soothing record has worn through to a chaotic flip side, leaving him in distress—until his robot Herman, programmed to remember the melody, offers to hum it.
