In "Trick or Treaty," Woody Woodpecker stumbles into an absurdly bureaucratic quirk of history when he lands a government job that’s been vacant for 70 years—serving as messenger for a forgotten cavalry fort still manned by the perpetually pompous Colonel Cinchwell P. Bootjack. With a war declared but never ended due to the missing signature of Tired Turtle, the last of the Oollagagahs, Woody’s mission becomes a wild chase across the frontier, all drawn with energetic flair by John Carey and colored by the Western Publishing Production Shop. The cover, by Jack Manning, captures the zany spirit of the tale.

In "Trick or Treaty," Woody Woodpecker lands a bizarre government position as a messenger for a forgotten cavalry fort, where the perpetually pompous Colonel Cinchwell P. Bootjack still holds duty after 70 years. With the U.S. and the Oollagagah Indians technically at war—thanks to an un-signed peace treaty—Woody’s new mission is to track down Tired Turtle, the last of his people, and convince him to seal the deal, no matter the chaos that ensues.
