Four Color #1122

In "Test Hop," Chilly contemplates a daring ice skating challenge involving three barrels, but wisely opts to start small—testing his leap over a St. Bernard's keg instead. The story captures a moment of playful ambition with a touch of comic timing, all in a single page of classic Four Color charm.

When Bully Bear starts copying everything Chilly and Sammy do, their patience wears thin—until they find a pirate who’s just as eager to imitate. Using Bully’s own habit against him, the duo hatches a clever plan to outwit the swashbuckling intruder.

When Patty buys Chilly boxing gloves to keep his paws warm, a series of accidental knockouts turns the town's quiet bear into an unexpected sensation—soon, the locals are lining up to pit him against Roundhouse Octopus, the World's Anyweight Champion.

In "Private Fishing," Bully Bear eyes Chilly’s spot on the frozen lake with a greedy grin, waiting for the perfect moment to take over. When Chilly cleverly saws a circle of ice and floats it to catch fish, Bully Bear’s plans are put to the test—though the outcome remains as slippery as the ice itself.
