In "The Case of Flight 101," a ventriloquist's dog takes center stage when a fire forces the animal to speak, guiding passengers to safety—though the performer claims he didn’t utter a word. Werner Roth handles both pencils and inks for the story, while Dick Giordano delivers the striking cover art. A 1979 British comic from Alan Class, this issue offers a clever twist on voice, perception, and the unexpected.

In "The Voice of Fido!" from Astounding Stories #142 (1979), a ventriloquist relies on his dog, Fido, to deliver punchlines in his act—until a fire forces the dog to speak, guiding people to safety. Though the crowd swears they heard the dog’s voice, the ventriloquist insists he didn’t speak, leaving the truth of who really saved them in question.
