After a backyard feud with their neighbor Mr. Grapple, reminiscent of Donald Duck's war with his neighbor Jones or Woody Woodpecker's skirmishes with his neighbor Tackhammer, Andy and Charlie hop the top of a railroad car and head west.

Indexer Notes

Story begins on inside front cover in color and ends on inside back cover in color.

The story reads as if it were two separate tales; a shorter opening entry about the escalating backyard feud... from which Andy and Charlie retreat and head west for a completely different adventure.

The story is presented as three-tiers per page, except for pages 26 and 29 which are four-tiers per page.

Indexer Notes

Back cover displays two dark blue strips across its width. The strips are each 1.5 inches high and are placed at the very top and the very bottom of the back cover. Within these strips are the floating heads of the characters. The remaining back cover space in the center (about 7” wide x 7.25” high) is left blank or contains the name and logo of the business using the comic as a promotional item.
