Walter Lantz New Funnies #272
In "The Wild Flowers," Woody’s attempt to get his handwriting analyzed takes a quirky turn when Splinter accidentally spills ink on his letter and rewrites it—leading to a surprising report that claims he’s naturally gifted at collecting wildflowers, a hobby far more suited to Splinter than him. With art by John Carey on both the interior and cover, this 1959 Dell comic offers a charming, offbeat moment from the Walter Lantz New Funnies series.

Woody writes a letter to the Bilkem Institute to get his handwriting analyzed. Before the letter can be sent, Splinter spills ink on it and rewrites it herself. The returned analysis says that Woody should be good at collecting wildflowers, but that's Splinter's interest, not Woody's.
