The marionettes of puppeteers Bil and Cora Baird performed in this CBS saga of life in the Old West.
Snarky Parker was the deputy sheriff of the town of Hot Rock. He was in love with the local schoolteacher, Miss Butterball; rode a horse named Heathcliffe; and fought with local villains Ronald Rodent and Blackie McGoo.
Other characters seen regularly in the series (which was broadcast live to air) were Slugger, the piano player in the Bent Elbow Saloon; Paw, the father of Butterball; sultry siren Cuda Barra, Noose Noland and Fluffy Webster.
Yul Brynner, later more successful as a performer, was the producer and director of this show.
Based on the syndicated television puppet show (1950). The bottom of the first page says "Next issue 'Snarky Parker' on sale 2nd week of Aug." But there was no second issue.
