Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker #87
In "The Very, Very Persistent Reporter," Woody Woodpecker’s offhand comment about wanting a “pair of mules” for his birthday sets off a chain of misunderstandings when Knothead and Splinter take it literally. With a mix of enthusiasm and zero clue, the kids track down a pair of live mules, much to Woody’s bewilderment, before he decides to take them on a desert adventure to prospect for borax. Dick Hall’s energetic art brings the chaos to life, while John Carey’s cover captures the zany spirit of the misadventure.
