Desperate to reclaim his position and stop the impostor's endless appetite from draining the larder, Gabby devises a clever scheme involving clay dishes that puts the "King of the Gluttons" exactly where he belongs. A rollicking tale of appetite, ingenuity, and frontier justice that proves even the craftiest varmint can be outsmarted when Gabby sets his mind to it.

Floodtide!

When weeks of relentless rain threaten to flood the valley, Young Falcon races against the rising waters to warn both the Indian camps and pioneer settlements in his path—but discovers a wagon train heading directly into the danger zone with no time to reach safety. Drawing on his knowledge of his people's traditions, Young Falcon devises an ingenious solution to transform the settlers' wagons into vessels that can ride out the torrential floodwaters sweeping through Creek Drop Gulch.

Pickled Brains!
1 pp · humor; western-frontier

Loco Lew ties a string around his finger as a memory aid, but his peculiar logic for what he needs to remember takes a hilariously roundabout path through knots, flowers, flour, bread, and cheese before landing on something entirely unexpected. It's a rapid-fire gag that showcases the kind of scrambled frontier thinking that makes this 1952 humor Western tick.

Yawn Time!
1 pp · humor; western-frontier

When a chatty cowpoke named Blabbermouth Hunt storms into town furious at a fellow named Billings, Chief Gray Matter investigates—only to discover that the real offense isn't rudeness, but a difference in how two people communicate.
