Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker #135

In "Trick or Treaty," Woody Woodpecker stumbles into an absurdly bureaucratic quirk of history when he lands a government job that’s been vacant for 70 years—serving as messenger for a forgotten cavalry fort still manned by the perpetually pompous Colonel Cinchwell P. Bootjack. With a war declared but never ended due to the missing signature of Tired Turtle, the last of the Oollagagahs, Woody’s mission becomes a wild chase across the frontier, all drawn with energetic flair by John Carey and colored by the Western Publishing Production Shop. The cover, by Jack Manning, captures the zany spirit of the tale.
