Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker #68
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Weighty Problem," Woody Woodpecker and the kids find themselves in a whirlwind adventure when pirates attack and they flee to a mysterious island home to a sheep that might just be the legendary Golden Fleece. With the pirates hot on their heels, the escape becomes a race against time—until a cruise ship comes to their rescue. Written by Don R. Christensen and brought to life with bold, energetic art by John Carey (who also handled inks, lettering, and cover), this 1961 Dell comic captures the zany spirit of the era, with Carey’s dynamic visuals making every panel pop.
In "The Golden Fleece," Woody Woodpecker and his friends Knothead, Splinter, Mabel, and Horace find themselves fleeing pirate raiders only to land on a mysterious island where a peculiar sheep draws whispers of legend. When the pirates arrive in pursuit, the group scrambles to escape once more—this time aboard a passing cruise ship, leaving the golden mystery behind.
When the boys gather for their baseball game, the usual umpire’s missing—so Reddy Fox steps in, donning a makeshift uniform to call the game. But when Floyd and his friends catch on to the disguise, chaos erupts as the whole team gives chase, turning the field into a wild, slapstick showdown.
When a con artist rainmaker blames Woody Woodpecker for stealing his sacred rattle, Woody is tricked into performing a rain dance to clear his name—only to accidentally summon real rain by waxing his car. With the tribe watching and the drought pressing on, Woody must outwit the fraud before the fake prophecy comes true.
Woody Woodpecker takes on a new gig as a dog barber, diving into the chaos of grooming Mrs. Van Giltbilt’s prized pups—complete with a mix-up involving a dogcatcher, a pet shop owner, and a few too many clippers. With timing tight and the dog show looming, can Woody keep his feathers (and the dogs) from flying off the leash?
