Leroy #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeLeroy Loomis and his aunt's chimpanzee win first prize in a competition for their famous slogan "Which Twin Is the Phoney?", leading to a celebratory evening at home with the chimp. In a separate story titled "It's a Dog's Life!", Bingo encounters a woman at a doorway and becomes involved in a comedic situation when a man attempts to hang a picture by hammering a nail, resulting in chaos when Leroy strikes the nail too hard and causes damage. The issue also features humor centered on Leroy's mischievous antics and mishaps with adults around him.
Leroy's stuck wearing a shabby old monkey suit to the school masquerade ball—until his Aunt Agatha's pet chimpanzee Boo Boo unexpectedly arrives and escapes during the festivities. When the chimp shows up at the dance, Leroy finds himself caught in a wild mix-up that somehow leads to an unexpected turn of events at the costume competition.
When Leroy's parents leave him in charge for the evening with a plumber due to fix the cellar pipes, the wise guy can't resist turning the appointment into comic chaos—mixing up which tradesman is which, sending them on wild trips through the house, and generally making a mess of things. By the time his parents return from their card game, the cellar's in worse shape than when they left, and poor J.P. Plummer has had just about all he can take of Leroy's brand of "help."
Bingo lands a baby-sitting gig with one simple rule: keep little Rollo asleep and earn five dollars extra—easy money, or so he thinks. When friends show up to party and an unexpected canine houseguest decides to turn the place upside down, Bingo's quiet evening spirals into pure chaos as he scrambles to prevent disaster before the parents return. This 1950 humor story shows why sometimes the simplest jobs turn out to be anything but.
When Leroy stops by to visit his girlfriend Janie, her father enlists him to help with a home repair project—but Leroy's well-meaning efforts to lend a hand quickly spiral into a cascade of mishaps that turn the house upside down. As he tackles one task after another, each attempt to fix the damage only creates more chaos, leaving Janie's father desperately hoping his guest can manage just one simple job without disaster. Will Leroy finally get it right, or is there more mayhem in store?
