The Three Stooges #36
In "The Yankee Doodle Dummies," the Three Stooges accidentally become unlikely heroes during the American Revolution, stumbling through the Boston Tea Party, aiding Paul Revere with a famously confused signal, and turning the tide of battle with a skunk-powered ambush—though their victory is less due to strategy than sheer, chaotic luck. Written by Cecil Beard and illustrated by Sparky Moore, this 1967 Western Comics classic captures the trio’s slapstick antics in a historically inspired adventure, with the cover by Sparky Moore showcasing their signature mayhem.

In 1773, arriving in Boston from England, the Stooges blunder through the Boston Tea Party, get thrown in jail, are sprung by patriots, help Paul Revere on his famous ride after first mixing up the lights in the church tower, unleash a wagon load of skunks on the Redcoats, and finally steer the British forces into a marsh to win the battle. They even get to lead the parade, "because [they] don't know which end of a musket the trigger is on!"
