Chief Grey Matter Isn't Squashed!
1 pp · humor; western-frontier
Chief Grey Matter

Chief Grey Matter crashes a farmers' gathering where the locals are competing with outlandish tales about their vegetable harvests, and decides to settle the boasting once and for all with a tall tale of his own about a squash so enormous it defies all conventional measurement.

Young Falcon and the Tired Trappers
4 pp · western-frontier
Young FalconTedTrader Will (villain)

Young Falcon encounters a series of exhausted trappers competing for a government trapping license on Beaver Mountain, only to discover they're falling into deadly danger from wolves and mountain lions—victims of a mysterious, overwhelming fatigue. When the pattern points to Trader Will's supply store, Young Falcon confronts the villain and uncovers a sinister scheme to sabotage the competition. With the trappers saved and the truth revealed, justice is served in the frontier hills.

Gabby Hayes and the Talking Duck
7 pp · western-frontier
Gabby HayesSheriff Slim DaggleTippyHoot Ekko (villain)

Garrulous Gabby Hayes heads into Big Honk Marsh for a hunting trip and encounters a duck that talks back—a creature so unusual it leaves even the famously talkative prospector speechless. When Gabby tries to track down the wisecracking waterfowl to prove he's not going crazy, he stumbles into something far more dangerous than he bargained for. Can the quick-thinking Tippy and a little ventriloquism trickery help Gabby outmaneuver the real trouble hiding in the marsh?

Presidential Timber!
1 pp · humor; western-frontier
Loco Lew

Loco Lew finds himself lost in thought about a peculiar historical question—wondering which presidents besides Washington and Lincoln were born on holidays—and his musings become the target of good-natured ribbing from those around him in this lighthearted western tale. It's a quick, clever gag that plays on the character's reputation for not always being the sharpest tool in the shed.

The Rich Town!
2 pp · humor; western-frontier
Mr. AdamsMr. Howell

Mr. Adams wants to leave town because he thinks it's too poor, but Mr. Howell insists on proving him wrong—with a barrage of puns that reveal just how "rich" this frontier settlement really is. It's a quick-witted humor piece that turns the definition of wealth on its head with wordplay.

Gabby Hayes and the Bad Actor
7 pp · western-frontier
Gabby HayesAunt Ellie HesterEllie HempsteadFred LarsenHartley Braker (villain)

When a famous matinee idol named Hartley Braker arrives at the Bar Nothing ranch to court Ellie Hempstead, Gabby Hayes finds himself outmatched by the actor's charm and unexpected skills—no matter how many tests he devises to expose him as a fraud. But as Braker schemes to eliminate the competition and claim the ranch for himself, a stroke of clumsy luck gives Gabby the upper hand he's been desperately seeking.
