Freddy #21
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFreddy and his girlfriend Peggy go out to dinner at a restaurant where Freddy insists on paying the check, leading to a comedic dispute over who will cover the bill. The issue also includes a "Good Tips" advice feature on improving women's public speaking, covering common speech faults like the "ah break" and "word swallowing," along with various advertisements and a brief comic strip about a boy who fears a firecracker scare.
Freddy hatches a scheme to dodge his promise to cut Superintendent McHazy's grass so he can make a date with a girl, swapping the superintendent's regular glasses for a pair with dark lenses to convince him it's stormy outside. But when Freddy's elaborate weather trick—complete with a hose and borrowed physics equipment—backfires, he finds himself stuck with an even worse chore than grass-cutting.
When Rip tries to impress Peggy by hiring the Great Wando to humiliate his rival Freddy at a magic show, his scheme backfires in spectacular fashion. As the magician's tricks go hilariously wrong onstage, Rip discovers that getting revenge might not be as clever as he thought—especially when the truth about Freddy's family connections comes to light.
A bargain-hunting teenager finds irresistible deals on a dress, shoes, gloves, and even a car—each one suspiciously cheap—only to discover that her new purchases come with an unexpected and shrinking problem. When rain and circumstance pile on, Margie's day spirals into a surreal disaster that teaches her a hard lesson about the true cost of cutting corners. By story's end, her attitude toward bargain shopping has undergone a dramatic shift.
Freddy brings home two oversized fake firecrackers for a school play, but his anxious neighbor mistakes them for real ones and sets off a chain of hilarious misunderstandings—including a panicked call to the police and a wild chase with Stuff that spirals further out of control. It's a perfect example of how one nervous mistake can turn an ordinary day into complete chaos.
