Little Max Comics #68

When Casey finds an old top hat, he insists Max wear it on a walk with Alice—only for the hat to swallow Max whole. With clever improvisation, Max cuts holes in the side to see through, turning a silly mishap into a surprisingly functional (if odd) solution.

In "It's Auto-Matic," Max tries to give Alice a ride home in his soapbox car, but a sudden rain shower sends them scrambling for cover. With a clever idea, Max figures out a way to keep Alice dry—right in the middle of his makeshift ride.

In a whimsical 1961 slice of carnival life, Lotta’s longing for a hamburger turns into a surprise showdown when her lone dime rolls into a wrestling ring—only to land under the star wrestler’s foot. With a quick flip and a lucky break, she claims a fifty-dollar prize, all to spend on the very burgers she’d been eyeing.

In "Don't Bring Anything," Gloria's birthday party takes a playful turn when she insists Richie come empty-handed—despite him already having bought her gifts. As her other friends speculate about what he might be hiding, Richie arrives with nothing, reminding her of her own instructions. Later, on a quiet walk, Gloria discovers a surprise at an ice cream parlor named in her honor, where every treat is a gift he never brought.
