Pete the Barncat manages to get Hank into trouble -- of course. There are more of those delightfully daffy Abbott-and-Costello-like conversations between Hank and his little assistant, Drover. Does Hank behave shamefully during the Affair of the Purloined Steak? Absolutely!
The deadly Ha-Ha game is Hank's idea to save himself and Drover from becoming coyote food for brothers Rip and Snort. That their danger lasts for most of CDs two & three is Hank's fault. (If Hank ever learned from his mistakes, what would Mr. Erickson do for plots?) The perils of the pooches keep starting up again just when the listener thinks they might be safe at last. If you're at all familiar with this series, you'll understand why Hank is torn between facing the jaws of Rip and Snort or *gasp* the Wrath of Sally May. (His description of his master's wife made me laugh aloud, especially when he describes a power he suspects she has.)
I also love the rocket sound effects for when Hank, Drover, and Pete are speeding away. Hank's song, 'Be A Winner,' is a masterpiece of unsportsmanlike advice. Hank and Pete's descriptions of each other's dry food after tasting it made me laugh, too. No wonder that steak was such a temptation. I also got a kick out of Drover's attempts to avoid what Hank considers bad language (No 'Darn!' allowed.)
Hank the Cowdog makes for fine family entertainment. Why not entertain yourselves tonight? ( )
