Horsefeathers #2
"Horsefeathers" #2 is a humor comic featuring various gag strips and stories. The cover presents a slapstick scene of two men in a gun standoff on a staircase with the caption "A Slap-Happy, Slam-Bang, Bats in the Belfry...Whoperoo!" Interior pages include wordless humor gags depicting domestic and everyday situations, such as a man asking about supper while his wife causes mayhem in the kitchen, and neighbors mistakenly thinking upstairs residents keep a horse. The issue also contains "A Medal for 'Squirt'" by Sidney Mason, a prose story about a weakened returning soldier from the Philippines who is reluctantly invited on a five-mile hike by schoolboys, joining them despite his initial hesitation and physical limitations.
