Yogi Bear on original cover illustration replaced with Yakky Doodle here. At the time of the 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 this 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 this cover, nevertheless.

The first 8 ½ pages of this story is an adaptation (though not exactly a strict one, as some beats are missed and others added) of the Huckleberry Hound TV cartoon “Hokum Smokum” (1958), written by the character’s creator Joe Barbera. The final 2 ½ pages consists of a “tack-on” plot concerning the flooding of the Indian camp, stylistically the product of prolific Dell and Gold Key scripter Vic Lockman, making this an odd hybrid of a story.

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.

For reasons unknown, Gold Key Comics (like Huckleberry Hound in 1967) that were not offered on a subscription basis did not contain the same six pages of “Gold Key Comics Club” editorial content seen in other titles – but instead offered six pages of material in a similar vein to occupy those same pages (the four pages of the centerfold, as well the last two interior pages). This material was produced editorially, as opposed to “reader contributions”. So, where readers contributed their own drawings of monsters to a Gold Key Comics Club feature titled “Reader’s Page: Monsters”, we have an editorially-produced page of four illustrations of monsters, each with their own unique characteristics described in accompanying text. As this was somehow tied to mail subscriptions, perhaps it resulted from another of those “arcane postal regulations”. © 1967, Western Publishing Company, Inc.
