Frisky Fables #39

"Spunky" tells of a character whose name causes embarrassment until he learns from his mother that being called "honest" by others is more valuable than any name. A second story follows Bo Peep, a shepherdess who loses her flock and searches for them, discovering them in danger near a lake before rescuing them from an unspecified threat.
In "The Damp Champ!", Spunky’s attempt to win a swimming contest by hitching a ride on Quacky the duck quickly goes south when the duck grows tired and quits. Suddenly, Spunky finds himself sinking to the lake’s bottom, where he stumbles into a school of fish and draws the attention of some very hungry lobsters.
Dopsy Durvy stumbles into a modern twist on the nursery rhyme when he helps Bo Peep track down her runaway sheep—who've abandoned her bobby-sock factory after growing tired of losing their wool coats. His search leads him through a harrowing encounter at Charley Chopp's lamb stew factory, where quick thinking and the help of a clever black sheep turn the tables on the butcher. In the end, Dopsy discovers that a little compassion and a promise of proper care might be all these sheep needed to come back home.
