Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker #87
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Very, Very Persistent Reporter," Woody Woodpecker’s offhand comment about wanting a “pair of mules” for his birthday sets off a chain of misunderstandings when Knothead and Splinter take it literally. With a mix of enthusiasm and zero clue, the kids track down a pair of live mules, much to Woody’s bewilderment, before he decides to take them on a desert adventure to prospect for borax. Dick Hall’s energetic art brings the chaos to life, while John Carey’s cover captures the zany spirit of the misadventure.
Chilly Willy rallies to save Sam’s Trading Post from closing by turning the South Pole into a must-see destination for human tourists, but his plan hits icy resistance when greedy Smedley schemes to steal the spotlight—and the profits.
Woody Woodpecker’s offbeat birthday wish—“a pair of mules”—sparks a wild misunderstanding when Knothead and Splinter take it literally, setting off a desert adventure with Max and Sam, the very real mules. With a mix of mistaken intentions and a dash of desert prospecting, the trio heads out with a crowd of mule-fans and even a few soldiers in tow, all chasing a dream that’s far more literal than Woody intended.
