This is how you do funny animal books. Jack Bradbury was an Animator for Walt Disney and knew how to tell a story and how to balance real people and 'cartoon' characters [Talking horse] and make the whole thing work. This site is a little Gem as it includes a lot of the comics Bradbury worked on. http://jbrad.org/ Enjoy!

Comic StoryHeap Small Injun / Spunky (5 pages)
SynopsisFirst appearance of Cora Sue Lee. Spunky avoids an invitation from Cora Sue because he doesn't want to play with (ugh!) a girl. He says he will be busy with "injun trouble". Cora Sue disguises herself as an Indian chief looking for peace, and eventually gives Spunky a welcome kiss (from the squaws of the tribe). Later, when Spunky finds out about the ruse and realizes he got a kiss from Cora Sue, we see a lovesick Spunky sitting on his porch daydreaming.
