An anthology issue featuring multiple animal characters in comedic adventures. One story follows a dog named Benny traversing the desert and experiencing mirages while seeking water. Another features a monkey and other animals performing music and causing commotion at what appears to be a jam session or dance event. A third story centers on Billy the Kid and his animal companions in a Western-themed adventure involving gunplay and a newspaper. The issue concludes with promises of more Billy the Kid adventures in the next edition.
