Droopy (Comic)

Following the tradition of Tex Avery's classic 1940s animation, Dark Horse launches a miniseries featuring America's favorite pooch, Droopy Dog! In "Dr. Droopenstein," Droopy needs a brain to bring his creation to life, and has a chance to get one when Wolfie's car breaks down nearby. But the Wolf ain't so happy to give up his smarts, and does all he can to escape Castle Droopenstein! As a bonus, that "wacky" rodent Screwball Squirrel returns in "The Violent Zone," an Avery-style parody of that favorite 1950s classic sci-fi television show. Rod Serling never had it so tough!

Following the tradition of Tex Avery's classic 1940s animation, Dark Horse serves up more of the world's most convivial cur, Droopy Dog! In "Turkey for Dinner," Droopy and Spike enter a contest to see who can bring the best-dressed turkey home for Thanksgiving dinner. But capturing a plump, juicy piece of poultry isn't as easy as it seems when the only turkey Spike and Droopy can find is a scrawny-looking, smart-mouthed bird who does everything it can to avoid capture! As a bonus, Wolfie Wolf and Ravishing Red return in "Pretty Present," a Yuletide tale where Wolfie's hired as a department-store Santa to make the local children happy. But when the boss' beautiful daughter takes over as Wolfie's assistant elf, Wolfie gets so distracted that the store quickly becomes a disaster area!

Following in the tradition of Tex Avery's classic 1940s animation, Dark Horse concludes its three-issue showcase of the adventures of the world's most congenial canine, Droopy Dog! In "Santa's Little Helpers," ol' Saint Nick has to decide which of his two elves, Droopy or Spike, will accompany him on his annual sleigh ride! Both boys learn in short order that trying to fool Father Christmas will result in something nasty being left in your stocking! In the bonus back-up, Meathead attends the Okee-Dokee Data School in hopes of working with computers! And everything is going by the book until that rascally rodent Screwball Squirrel enrolls! His assignment? Give Meathead a one-way "re-boot" up the corporate ladder!
