Porky Pig #50
In "Rough Ride," Porky Pig takes a wild detour from his usual antics when he purchases an old hotel in the path of a new freeway, then hauls it 89 miles to Mirage Valley—only to have a confused prospector crash into it, convinced it's a mirage. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with lively art by Tony Strobl, with inks by Vic Lockman, this 1957 Dell comic delivers classic slapstick with a desert twist. The cover by Tony Strobl captures the absurdity perfectly, a 10-cent slice of vintage cartoon chaos.
