Porky Pig #56
In "Snowball in Manhole," Porky Pig journeys to Mexico and stumbles upon a magic sombrero that awakens hidden talents in its wearer—though pride turns the hat into a crushing burden. Inspired by his new confidence, Porky sets his sights on becoming a bullfighter, with only his wits and a very heavy hat to guide him. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by John Carey, this 1958 Dell comic features a delightfully absurd adventure with art by Carey on both interior and cover.
