In "The Wild Flowers," Woody’s attempt to get his handwriting analyzed takes a quirky turn when Splinter accidentally spills ink on his letter and rewrites it—leading to a surprising report that claims he’s naturally gifted at collecting wildflowers, a hobby far more suited to Splinter than him. With art by John Carey on both the interior and cover, this 1959 Dell comic offers a charming, offbeat moment from the Walter Lantz New Funnies series.

Woody Woodpecker, ever the curious bird, sends off a letter to the Bilkem Institute for a handwriting analysis—only for Splinter to accidentally spill ink on it, rewriting the note in her own hand. When the results come back, they claim Woody has a natural talent for collecting wildflowers, a hobby that’s far more Splinter’s style than his. With the mismatched verdict in hand, Woody’s confusion sets off a series of misadventures neither he nor Splinter could have predicted.
