Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #579

It's all about Disney in Day 6 of my Thanksgiving reads. Unfortunately, Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #579 isn't 100% Thanksgiving. 

There's 3 stories in this issue. Of the non-Thanksgiving tales we have the son of the Big Bad Wolf having to going on a 3 Little Pig hunt with his pop and Mickey & Goofy playing engineers against some train robbers. The L'il Bad Wolf story was lots of fun. It had a lot of big idea fails like you'd seen in a Road Runner & Coyote cartoon. But something was off with the Mickey & Goofy story. I'm wondering if it was originally printed in a foreign Disney Comic because the syntax in those translated issues are often wonky and the dialogue in this story definitely had some awkward moments.

Let's head to the Thanksgiving adventure now. Just like on the cover, Donald is on the hunt for a wild turkey in full Pilgrim regalia. The reason- he refuses to pay 70 cents per pound for the seasonal bird at his local butcher. (Obviously this was a story from the 40s or 50s cause I couldn't tell you the last time I was able to buy whole turkeys that freakin' cheap!) 

Anyways, with Pilgrim Donald on the hunt, it's the perfect time for Huey, Dewey & Louie to play some tricks on their uncle. But when a turkey actually shows up, it's big, bad and mean (as all turkeys are) and ready for a fight.

Disney is a good go to for holiday comic reads. There's not a ton of Thanksgiving themed comics out there. So for this book to only be a partial Turkey Day issue, I'm not complaining. And L'il Bad Wolf was a laugh riot, as usual. But that Mickey & Goofy story was hard to read. Even the punchline last panel was terrible. It alone is why I am deducting a few points in my rating. 

Worth Consuming.

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
