This anthology issue contains two stories. The first, "Van Monotone," follows a character attempting to teach a new dance step called "Doin' the Sittin' Talk" by moving only while standing still beside a partner. His eccentric invention causes chaos among musicians and dancers, culminating in the word "Boinng!" becoming a sensation in the jazz world. The second story promotes "Grapple," a new game that involves piling wooden chips on a table and diving in to grab a fistful, with the winner being whoever makes the first hole in the table; the promotional text claims players can win prizes and even their neighbor's car with the deluxe set.
