Top Comics The Three Stooges #2
In "The Yankee Doodle Dummies," the Three Stooges accidentally become Revolutionary War heroes in 1773 Boston, stumbling through the Tea Party, aiding Paul Revere with a mix-up in the church tower lights, and sending Redcoats fleeing with a surprise skunk attack—all while leading the parade, "because [they] don't know which end of a musket the trigger is on!" Written by Cecil Beard and illustrated by Sparky Moore, this 1967 Western Publishing adventure blends slapstick chaos with historical cameos in a delightfully absurd twist on American lore. Cover by Sparky Moore.

In 1773, arriving in Boston from England, the Stooges blunder through the Boston Tea Party, get thrown in jail, are sprung by patriots, help Paul Revere on his famous ride after first mixing up the lights in the church tower, unleash a wagon load of skunks on the Redcoats, and finally steer the British forces into a marsh to win the battle. They even get to lead the parade, "because [they] don't know which end of a musket the trigger is on!"
