For Sept. 14, 1958 "Barney Google And Snuffy Smith" Sunday page, which features seven panels (not counting paste-over title panel, which shows moderate aging from glue). Page deals w/Tater Smith encountering "A Flatland Tourister From Th' High-Falootin' Pine Tree Lodge," to which the other young boy replies "A Real Hayseed On A Donkey!! I Should Have Brought My Camera." The youths then go on to trade insults, causing Loweezy to ask Snuffy to go out and break them up before they start to fight, to which Snuffy replies "Let 'Em Rip!! It Ain't No Skin Off'n My Nose." The boys go on to trade their rides, Tater trading Aunt Sukey the mule to the other boy to try his bicycle.
