Eager and Anxious First Comic - Hopalong Cassidy

I'm the comic-weekly man, the jolly comic-weekly man, and I'm here to read the funnies to you, happy boys and honeys. Yes, boys and girls, it's comic-weekly time, and here I come right into your house to bring a little fun and happiness.

Right out of the pages of Puck the Comic-weekly, straight into your living room, your friend the comic-weekly man, the jolly comic-weekly man. Hello hello hello hello. Well, little Miss Honey, how are you today? I'm eager and anxious.

What are you eager and anxious about? Today's the day we're supposed to be taking a trip to the moon with Flashgarden, isn't it? Oh yes, so let's get busy and read the funnies right away.

Yes, please. Here we go with Puck the Comic Weekly, but first let's listen to this nice man. Now here we go with Puck the Comic Weekly, and on top of the first page, hop along Cassidy.

Magic reds for the music, please. Very well, my lady. Six guns blazing as you thunder's along. Give us music for Hop Along! Hoppy has learned that Don Ramos' ranch is going to be put up for auction.

He suspects Sloat and his crooked gang are to blame. So the day of the auction, Hoppy and California ride up to bid in the ranch and save it for Don Ramos. Lucky is supposed to bring the money from Rio Vista as soon as the bank sends it to him.

The tax assessor, the man who is the brains behind sloat, says to Hoppy. What do you want here? The law is looking for you. Hoppy says, don't mind us. Go right ahead with your auction.
