Four Color #1079

In "The New Teacher," the Rascals’ beloved Miss Pretty is let go after a science experiment goes awry—only to be replaced by the stern Mr. Strict, who secretly orchestrated the mess to take her place. When Spanky discovers the truth, he sets out to sabotage Strict’s lessons, determined to bring Miss Pretty back.

In "The Devil to Pay," Alfalfa finds himself caught between paying off Toughie McGurk’s street toll and stepping into an unexpected role as an angel in his aunt’s Women’s Club play—only to be upended when Toughie hijacks the Devil’s part and takes control of Alfalfa’s flying harness for a chaotic aerial stunt.

In "The Dog Catcher," Jo and the gang scramble to rescue Waldo's Great Dane after a mix-up with Scrappy's borrowed dog license lands the wrong dog in the pound. With a series of clever (and hilariously clumsy) schemes, they set out to free the Great Dane before the dog catcher makes his next round.

In "The Performer," Alfalfa’s violin teacher, Prof. Harmony, drags him to a rival school led by Prof. Chord, turning Alfalfa’s awkward performance into a cleverly staged jab at his rival’s teaching. The story captures a lighthearted, mischievous moment where music and mischief blend in classic Four Color humor.
