Gehört zur Reihe
Created by Hergé when he was drawing the first few Tintin comics, and first serialized in black and white in 1934, this is the first publication of his lighthearted adventure Peppy in the Wild West -- and the only English translation since 1969. When his hat business fails, the bear Peppy heads to the Old West to start a new life, accompanied by his sweet wife, Virginny, and his faithful steed, Bluebell. They find a patch of grass somewhere in California, where Peppy's hats start a craze among the local Rabbit-Ears tribe. What follows is a rollicking cascade of one thing after another: not one, but two kidnappings, a river full of gold, a bulldog outlaw, and a side trip to Santa Barbara!

I soon discovered why it is renowned as Herge's weakest book - so weak in fact that he allegedly tired of it himself after only 15 pages - and was only ever a one-off. Apparently he was asked by his publishers to draw something for very young children for whom Tintin was too 'grown up': the rsults was a series called The Adventures of Tim the Squirrel out West, in 1931.
This developed into the strip The Adventures of Tom and Millie, in 1933, which became Popol Out West in 1934. The cartoons feature Popol the hatter and his wife Virginia, both of whom are some sort of animal, possibly a bear, and their talking blue mule.
They go to the Wild West of America to sell hats but fall foul of a tribe of rabbit 'Indians' called the Bunokees and an outlaw dog. It might sound pretty dire but the reality is far worse. ( )
