Gabby comic books issue 9

Stories and art by Jack Binder and Dick Kraus. The legendary Gabby Hayes, the most famous of all Western movie sidekicks, takes the starring role for adventure and misadventure. An arsonist is targeting buildings in the town of Rawhide, and he frames Gabby for his crimes. Gabby's clothes are stolen by wily coyote Lop Ear, and Gabby gives chase, wearing only his red union suit with the flap in the back. Gabby realizes that the pickpocket plaguing the town is actually the trained kangaroo of a traveling snake-oil salesman. Favorite line this issue: "Dadburn the thieving four-legged varmint!
