Goofy Comics #13

When a scrappy underdog enters a pigeon race to win a dance date with Penelope, he discovers that raw speed isn't enough to beat the competition—especially when Percy, the confident favorite, has feathers and natural flying ability on his side. Determined to level the playing field, he'll stop at nothing to cross the finish line first, but his resourcefulness might just backfire in the most comic of ways. "The Pigeon Race" by Norman Hildreth is a rollicking six-page romp through one bird's wild attempt to prove that a little ingenuity can outfly pure talent.

When Adam's stomach starts rumbling and his cupboards stay bare, the hungry fellow sets out on a comedic quest for a meal—sneaking past neighbors, dodging street vendors, and raiding bakeries in search of anything edible. His desperate food-hunting escapades lead him through a series of increasingly absurd encounters that test both his appetite and his luck. A lighthearted wartime romp where one animal's hunger pangs create all the chaos.
