Giggle Comics #40

This anthology issue contains multiple humorous stories featuring animal characters and slapstick comedy. One story depicts a character trying to steal a clock by setting it slow, only to have the plan go awry when he and his accomplice attempt to retrieve it. Another segment features a lion seeking revenge on someone, fashioning a miniature mallet and using "black magic" to wait for his plan to work. A third story follows a man attempting an urgent telephone call to reach Australia, then England, and finally Plainsdale, U.S.A., with each location change creating comedic chaos and requiring faster travel methods. The stories emphasize physical gags, animal antics, and absurdist humor typical of Golden Age funny animal comics.
