Old Pappy Stewart has spent years driving mule teams, and the arrival of a gleaming motor bus feels less like progress than a personal defeat. Ordered to take the new vehicle onto the road, he finds that old loyalties and new machinery can produce an awkward emergency.
Ray Humphreys turns the replacement of the stage team into a comic Western encounter involving a crossing, a wagon and a decision made in an instant. The complete story from 28 May 1927 preserves Harry T. Fisk’s illustration and its final explanation of Pappy’s choice.
