Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #567

Day 3 of my Thanksgiving reads stars Donald and Mickey! 

In the first story- 'Turkey Shoot', Donald's nephews win a turkey in a raffle. Only the turkey is alive and they don't want their new pet to become Thanksgiving dinner. So Donald enters a turkey shoot in hopes of winning another bird to feast on. Only the charity sponsoring the event have fixed it so nobody can possibly win! 

Then we visit the woods to spend Thanksgiving with the L'il Bad Wolf and his Pop. The Big Bad Wolf is tired of having beans for Turkey Day. So he does the unthinkable and actually does an honest day's work; attempting to earn his own bird! Only the other residents in the forest seem to think that the Wolf's legitimate feast has been stolen!

Lastly, Mickey is ready for his Turkey Day feast. But this bird has grown big and mean over the year and it's fighting back! Watch as Mickey tries to off a Tom Turkey and get pulverized a being of pure evil!

(Sorry- I have a mortal fear of turkeys... Maybe I got a little bit biased. But I doubt it! Turkeys are mean!)

There's a fourth story in this issue. It wasn't seasonal. But it was funny. Based on Goofy's series of educational videos from the 1940s, the anthropomorphic dog takes readers on a tour of the history of shoes. 

This issue features works from Carl Barks and William Van Horn. Full of classic Disney charm. This is the House of Mouse I remember as a kid. And I loved every panel of it! Though I do think it a little weird that a family of ducks want to eat turkey for Thanksgiving...

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
