In "Calling All Cars! Bring in Fat Fury!", Herbie's dad feels discouraged after failing to help his son lose weight—until President Johnson and Vice President Humphrey step in, summoning him to Washington. The situation spirals into a diplomatic whirlwind when Herbie’s father is appointed Ambassador to the far-off nation of Hongadingia, tasked with ending a war between the Hissians and the Pigturtles. Written by Shane O'Shea and illustrated with energetic precision by Ogden Whitney, this zany adventure features Herbie’s unexpected transformation after a Hissian bite—and his father’s surprising change after a Pigturtle encounter. The cover, by Kurt Schaffenberger, captures the absurdity in full stride.

In a delightfully absurd twist, the scheming Question Mark turns to his latest gadgetry to finally stop the ever-persistent Fat Fury—only to accidentally unleash a look-alike robot that fools everyone, including the hero himself. With his powers tied to lollipops and his only ally a tiny mouse he once helped, the real Fat Fury must find a way to reclaim his identity before the fake takes over.

In "Clear the Road for Skinny!", Herbie’s dad feels defeated after failing to help his son lose weight—until a bizarre chain of events sees President Johnson and Vice President Humphrey summoning him to Washington, where he’s suddenly treated like a global celebrity. With a surreal parade of world leaders like de Gaulle and Queen Elizabeth taking interest, Herbie’s dad is appointed Ambassador to the fictional nation of Hongadingia, tasked with ending a war between the Hissians and Pigturtles—only to find the roles reverse when a bite from each side flips their physiques.
