Porky Pig #66
In "The Bashful Bard from Borneo," Porky Pig and Petunia take on a peculiar immigration mission when they journey to the West Coast to escort a shy, songbird from Borneo through customs. The bird, though gifted with a beautiful voice, is overwhelmed by people and longs to return to the jungle he calls home. Written by Don R. Christensen and brought to life with expressive art by Phil De Lara, this 1959 Dell classic captures a charmingly awkward adventure, with Tony Strobl’s cover capturing the oddball charm of the tale.
