Happy Rabbit #46

When Happy Rabbit scrapes together his last penny to take Bonny to the big dance, a trip to the legendary wishing well lands him and his pal Buddy Bear in the magical kingdom that lies beneath—where the stingy King Well-Wisher has been hoarding every coin tossed in. Joined by a disgruntled subject named Wishy-Washy, Happy and Buddy help orchestrate a palace coup to claim the magic crown, only to discover that their new ruler might be an even worse tyrant than the one they overthrew.

Uncle Pigly and Wally Wolf team up to sell horoscopes for a quarter apiece, with Uncle Pigly promised half the profits—but when customers react badly to Wally's fortune-telling pitches, the scheme quickly falls apart. What starts as an easy moneymaking opportunity turns into a hilarious lesson about keeping business partners happy.

Happy Rabbit's boasting about his boxing prowess lands him in hot water when he's signed up to spar with the formidable Crusher O'Toole—so he and his pal Buddy Bear cook up a fake health complaint to get him out of it. When the excuse backfires spectacularly at the gym, Happy finds himself tangled up in a mechanical muscle-builder, a case of mistaken identity with a secret agent, and a series of increasingly wild escapes that test just how far a rabbit will go to avoid the ring.

Bill Bunny spots a shooting gallery booth offering five dollars to anyone who can knock down a duck, and he's confident he can win the prize—until the rickety gun has other ideas about how the contest will play out.

When a new neighbor moves in next door, Custer Crocodile eagerly volunteers to help with the move—but his well-intentioned assistance quickly turns into a comedy of errors as furniture gets damaged, packages go flying, and the day takes an exhausting toll on him. Just when he thinks he's finally done, another new neighbor shows up across the street looking for the same warm welcome in "Hi, Neighbor," a three-page romp from *Happy Rabbit* #46.
