☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue opens with a circus-themed story featuring a cow, cat, and fiddle performing in a carnival act, where the cow attempts an impossible leap over the moon that turns out to be a fake backdrop, leading to comedic complications. The issue also includes "Broken Beak," by Mickey Klar Marks, in which Morton Mallard the duckling runs away from home after a cat bites off half his beak, only to discover that his broken beak causes him constant hardship and humiliation, ultimately driving him to abandon his family permanently. Additionally, the issue features "Tick, Tack and Toe," a story about a kangaroo with kittens in her pouch who encounters difficulties when the kittens sleep through the day and cause chaos when she tries to find them proper shelter at night.
Dopsy Durvy investigates when a famous circus act goes wrong—a cow that nightly jumps over the moon fails to return on schedule. Our curious rabbit detective rockets to the lunar surface to discover the cow imprisoned by the Man in the Moon, who's grown tired of his cheese diet and has sinister plans for both prisoner and rescuer. With quick thinking and some clever improvisation, Dopsy must outsmart a hungry giant and get the cow safely back to Earth.
Spunky skips school to catch a vaudeville show, but when the truant officer shows up, he bolts onto the stage—right into the middle of a magician’s act, a juggling routine, and a tumbler’s performance.
