In "The World's Whackiest Inventions," Johnny Quick and Tubby stumble into a Paul Bunyan festival, where oversized props and frontier-sized antics set the stage for a lighthearted caper. When thieves strike the gate, Johnny Quick channels the legendary lumberjack’s spirit—using exaggerated stunts and sheer showmanship to outwit them. Art by Paul Norris and Sy Barry brings the whimsical spectacle to life, with Win Mortimer’s cover capturing the oversized fun in bold, playful detail.
