COMIC BOOK STORY: Woody Woodpecker (New Funnies 179) (Patreon)

Western Publishing seemed to give established animated characters a bellicose (or busybody) next-door neighbor—Donald Duck and Neighbor Jones, Barney Bear and Mooseface McElk, and in this Yuletide-themed story, Woody Woodpecker is up against is neighbor Tackhammer in a competition for best Christmas tree on the block. 

From New Funnies #155 (January 1950)—drawn by Lloyd White, inked and lettered by Suzanne Seaborne.
