In "The Idol's Eye," Woody Woodpecker stumbles into a mix-up when kids collecting newspapers for recycling accidentally take Mr. Walrus’s real estate documents—leading to a frantic search when the paper hauler is caught mid-delivery. With Joe Messerli handling both the interior art and cover, this 1979 Western Comics issue delivers classic slapstick chaos in a story where misplaced papers spark a bigger mess than anyone expected.
