☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue features two main stories. In the first, Supermouse captures a villain and sends him to jail, then joins a Supermouse Fan Club where he encounters trouble involving a fish that escapes into water, leading to a series of comedic underwater confrontations. In the second story, "Butch and Buttercup—Dressed to Kill," two unemployed characters discuss their lack of jobs and proper clothing, leading them to seek better attire so they can find employment and attend social events.
Supermouse faces his toughest case yet when master of disguise Hocus-Pocus Harry strikes the city—a criminal so skilled at changing his appearance that even the police can't pin him down. When Harry sends our hero on a wild chase to the North Pole, the villain seizes the opportunity to impersonate Supermouse himself, manipulating the hero's own fan club into committing crimes. It's a battle of wits and disguises as Supermouse must outsmart a criminal who knows all his tricks.
Dudley thinks he can handle a stubborn horse better than his friend, but quickly discovers that moving a beast of burden requires more than brute force—a lesson in the value of doing things the right way. A lighthearted tale of country life where a know-it-all gets a quick education in "horse sense."
Coo Coo the bird desperately seeks the spotlight after a household fish tank steals everyone's attention, so he dreams up an outlandish scheme to get noticed—one that spirals hilariously out of control when his act of desperation gets mistaken for something far more remarkable. What starts as a bid for simple recognition becomes a wild adventure through an aquarium and a scientists' convention, where Coo Coo learns that sometimes the attention you chase isn't worth the trouble it brings.
This 1951 nature lesson reveals surprising facts about wildlife that defy their common names and everyday appearances—a gopher faces an unexpected roommate when a rattlesnake claims his burrow, while a Canadian goose employs an underwater escape trick, a water turkey disguises itself as dead wood, and creatures like the laughing jackass, pika, American rabbit, and horned toad all turn out to be something entirely different than their names suggest. "Now You Know" is a playful tour through animal misconceptions and clever survival strategies that'll make you rethink what you thought you knew about the critters we share the world with.
Uncle Pigly takes on the careful task of delivering a phonograph record to his friend Fergie Fox, determined to keep it intact through an obstacle-filled journey across town. After going to exhausting lengths to protect the fragile disc from damage, Uncle Pigly's efforts take an ironic turn when he finally arrives—only to discover the record is supposedly unbreakable, leading to an unexpected twist on what "record breaking" really means.
Butch and Buttercup are desperate for better jobs, convinced their shabby old suits are holding them back—so they swap them for some sharp new duds off store dummies, not realizing they've just committed grand theft. When the police close in, the pair ducks into a beauty salon and gets mistaken for customers, dragging them through an increasingly chaotic series of treatments before their cover is blown. It's a wild chase through downtown that leaves them with shrunken pants, singed hair, and a hard-won lesson about looking sharp—whether they're actually learned it or not.
