Boys' and Girls' March of Comics #89
In "Porky's Very, Very Wild Ride!", Porky, Cicero, and Bugs spend a vacation at a mountain lodge, only for the two pigs to stumble upon a counterfeiters' hideout during a photography hike. After a narrow escape, Porky finds himself on a runaway horse that hurtles through cliffs, freight trains, mountains, and a log flume—ending up tethered to a floating log and eventually lassoing an angry bear. The story, illustrated with energetic flair by John Carey (pencils, inks, and lettering) and colored by the Western Publishing Production Shop, features a memorable cover also by Carey.

Porky, Cicero, and Bugs are vacationing at a mountain lodge. On a photography hike the two pigs stumble upon the hideout of two counterfeiters, from whom they escape. Trailing the counterfeiters, while Bugs hoofs it to the nearest ranger station, Porky finds himself on a runaway horse that takes him on a "very, very, wild ride", jumping a cliff, landing atop a moving freight train, across several small mountains, and down a log flume into a rushing river. The horse climbs out safely, but Porky rushes downstream tethered by his rope to a fast-moving log. He eventually lassos an angry bear.
