Patches #7
The issue features two main stories: the first, "Hopalong Cassidy in Patches," depicts Hopalong and a child rescuing a donkey from danger. The second story follows Patches, a character who encounters a theatrical talent scout with a "Wanted" notice seeking theatrical talent with various skills; Patches and companions attempt to answer the call, leading to comedic mishaps at a theater where they disrupt a performance and interact with the manager, ultimately failing to secure roles. The issue is a humor-focused anthology combining Western adventure with slapstick theatrical comedy.
