Funny / Hank the Cowdog

• "It was... pause... pause... pause... paws... pause... pause... A GHOST!" (The pauses are actually written out and take up two whole pages before another two-page spread that just has "A GHOST!" across from a full-page illustration of the ghost. Which actually is somewhat scary in spite of this humor.)
• Slim's reaction to a non-working pay phone in Slim's Goodbye: putting a sign on it calling it a "theef" and accusing it of taking a jobless cowboy's money (in the same poor spelling).
• The Case of the Raging Rottweiler: "It's Not Smart to Show Your Hiney to a Bear", aka Hank and Drover debating the merits (or lack thereof) of Bullying a Dragon in song form.
• Hank's repeated Accidental Misnaming of Drover in The Case of the Tender Cheeping Chickies. Over the course of the book, he calls Drover "Graver", "Groder", "Dricker", "Druffer", "Drouder", and "Drogger". (All of the misnaming is from contextual influence, such as "I would be prouder, Drouder...")
• The Case of the Prowling Bear:
  • Loper and Slim's long discussion after Slim comes out and sees Loper's ski outfit. Loper hates the outfit too and blames on Sally May buying it when his back was turned.
  • Wallace, thinking Hank looks too dumb to still be alive, tells Junior to ask him if he's dead. Hank decides to troll them, saying, yes, he is. It takes Wallace way too long to come to the appropriate conclusion.
  • Wallace's "Thank You" song, which he sings to make having to use manners more bearable.
• The Cookie Moon: Everything about Slim and High Loper's Snark-to-Snark Combat.

  Slim: You forgot to shut the car door.

  Loper: I didn't forget! I left it open so the car won't get as hot as an oven.

  Slim: Well, I think you should have closed it.

  Loper: Slim, do you know what your problem is?

  Slim: Yep, I'm too kind and gentle for this cruel world.

  Loper: No, the trouble with you is that you have too much time on your hands. While I'm on vacation maybe you can get some work done on this ranch. Are you familiar with the concept of work?

  Slim: Loper, if I worked any harder out here you'd get arrested for slavery.

  Loper: Try putting in an honest day of work just to see how it feels! If you do a decent job and don't tear up any equipment, maybe I'll give you another cookie.

  Hank: And so forth. Those guys could go on like that for hours and of course, it was obvious to any dog that while they were yapping they didn't get any work done!
