School Poem 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 honey. 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. Oh. Oh. Little Miss Honey, how are you today? I'm fine, thank you. And I haven't been able to forget what a leader said to Prince Zion.

Oh, you mean about the Fauquenry contest? Yes. She said that whatever their birds caught, they would have to eat it for dinner that night. Yes. Even if the birds caught us conk. Do you think that any of their birds will catch us conk?

Well, that's something we'll find out today. Maybe Val's bird won't catch anything. That means he'd be skunked. Oh, yes. That's what my brother always says when he gets beaten in the game. Yes, I think that's what all boys say.

I even knew a boy once who couldn't give a single answer on an examination that he had in school. And when the teacher read his examination paper, you know what was on it? No. A little poem.

The poem read, I have sat here for an hour, and I thunk and thunk and thunk. I couldn't answer anything. And so I guess I'm scomfy. That's very funny. Yes, I thought so too. I even thought I was very, very, very funny.

Did it, I... Now, now, it's the reason to read the funny. Puck the comic weekly. Very well, I'll read that in just a moment. But before I do, let's listen to this nice man. Now here we go with Puck the Comic Weekly, and on the first page, Hop Along Cassidy.
