☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology comic features multiple animal characters in separate stories. Peter Rabbit arrives to rescue someone from danger in the opening story. Space Mouse follows two mouse astronauts whose rocketship malfunctions, forcing them to land on the nearest planet where they encounter various obstacles including an eagle, a storm, and ultimately a sea pool full of seals before escaping. Spotty the Pup, along with Skooch, chases after mice that have invaded a lady's house; after initially driving them out, the mice return with reinforcements, leading to a confrontation that ends with the lady offering the pup a reward for ridding her home of the rodents.
Peter Rabbit and Dazy decide to spend their holiday weekend on Mars, but discover the planet is packed with visitors all facing the same parking crisis. When they finally spot an open space and pull off what seems like a perfect parking job, a Martian cop has some unexpected news about their spot's true location.
Peter Rabbit finds his own face on a wanted poster for a series of train robberies—and the real bandit leader looks just like him! When Peter goes into hiding to prove his innocence, he stumbles onto the outlaws' hideout and discovers their plan for a bank job, but a girl named Dazy arrives just as the gang returns. Now Peter must convince the marshal of the truth and stop the real criminals before they use Dazy as a shield to escape.
Space Mouse's rocketship develops engine trouble mid-flight, forcing an emergency landing on a mysterious planet where everything—from ants to frogs to flowers—has grown to colossal proportions. After helping an injured bird and narrowly escaping encounters with oversized creatures, our intrepid travelers stumble into a giant's home and are captured as pets, leading to a desperate aerial escape aboard their feathered savior. A playful twist reveals there's more to their misadventure than meets the eye.
Spotty the Pup and his partner Skooch land their first customer call as De Luxe Exterminators—a woman desperate to rid her house of mice—but their laughing gas, cheese traps, and Pied Piper routine all backfire spectacularly. When increasingly wild tactics fail to solve the problem, the two exterminators resort to their most explosive solution yet, with results that leave everyone—including themselves—questioning whether they've actually earned their pay.
Space Mouse reluctantly puts his day of rest on hold when his companion Millie insists he fix a leaky bathroom faucet—a mundane earthly problem that seems laughably trivial compared to his adventures rushing between planets all week. Armed with tools and a healthy dose of reluctance, he tackles the repair with characteristically unorthodox results. What unfolds is a comedic clash between interplanetary heroics and the humble realities of home maintenance.
