in Hucky (Tessloff, 1963 series) #35 -
in Huckleberry Hound (Western, 1962 series) #32 (January 1968) - For the reprint, Yogi Bear is replaced by Yakky Doodle. At the time of this original printing, Yogi Bear was a component segment of “The Huckleberry Hound Show” and was, thus, reflected on the issue’s cover. By the time of the reprint, Yakky Doodle was now a component segment of “The Huckleberry Hound Show” and was, oddly, swapped-out from “The Yogi Bear Show” for Pixie, Dixie, and Mr. Jinks – who remain on the reprint cover, nevertheless.

Indexer Notes
Yogi and Boo Boo are so perfectly characterized, and play out a series of such well-executed blackout gags, that this could easily have been an early Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Harvey Eisenberg’s lively art only adds to the great sense of fun.

Indexer Notes
This entry is a remake of the Andy Panda and Charlie Chicken story from Walter Lantz New Funnies (Dell, 1946 Series) #212 (October 1954), written by Carl Fallberg and drawn by Lynn Karp. Since Huck didn’t have a sidekick, as Andy Panda had Charlie Chicken, he is paired with an old security guard named “Charley”. …Coincidence? Sufficient evidence to credit Carl Fallberg as writer.
