Happy Comics #1

Two merry-go-round horses tired of endless circles get their wish for freedom when a magical crow grants them a night off—but Trotter and Prancer soon discover that life beyond the carnival is far more chaotic than they bargained for. After a magical performance, an encounter at a racetrack, and an unexpected brush with danger, the pair learns that sometimes the life you're trying to escape isn't so bad after all. Created by Gordon Sheehan, this 1943 comedy proves that adventure and misadventure aren't always the same thing.

A crook fleeing the law hides out in a sculptor's studio and uses the artist's clay to craft what he believes is a masterpiece—a bust of Napoleon—only to set off a wild chase when the sculpture keeps changing hands among unsuspecting citizens and merchants across town. With each transfer, the pug's precious creation gets passed along to a delicatessen man, a dress shop owner, and eventually the museum, leading him on a frantic pursuit to track it down before his luck runs out. It's a dizzy romp of mistaken identities and comedic chaos that proves sometimes the greatest heist is just keeping up with your own scheme.
