☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two main stories: "Willie" depicts a photographer haggling with a street vendor over portrait prices, ultimately agreeing to a deal before being comically ejected by the vendor's invention; "Bull Dozer in 'Grime Doesn't Pay'" follows an inventor who creates a self-rocking hammock from a malted-milk machine, which malfunctions and sends him flying, after which he is conscripted into housework by a woman who finds him. The issue also includes instructional content from the Washington School of Art advertising cartooning and drawing courses, and a story featuring Lucky Duck encountering Dame Fortune and becoming entangled in a magical sequence involving water and treasure before mysteriously drowning and being rescued.
Lucky Duck thinks he's found the perfect mark when he spots a goose that supposedly lays golden eggs—except his pal Rocky has other plans, and the two keep trying to outscheme each other in a series of escalating cons. This 1953 romp from Lucky Duck #6 delivers pure slapstick chaos as each trick backfires in the most unexpected ways.
Goofy Gander is on a mission to find a cure for hiccups—though he doesn’t actually have them—just to help a friend. When a passing motorist offers a quick remedy, Goofy’s curiosity gets the better of him, leading to a moment of classic, lighthearted confusion.
Willie’s stubborn about paying for a photo—quarter or no quarter—but when he haggles down to a nickel, he insists on one extra trick: his reflection in the picture, doubling his image for the price.
Lucky Duck and his pal Rocky spot a rare, high-value butterfly in the countryside and scheme to catch it using Lucky's distinctive nose as bait—but a series of mishaps, sneezes, and interruptions keep getting in the way. When a mysterious visitor arrives with news of Rocky's inheritance, the two find themselves caught between competing goals: catching that elusive Praxmoxis and convincing the stranger that Rocky's tough enough to claim his uncle's fortune.
Bull Dozer's latest invention—an automatic floor-waxer cobbled together from an old lawn mower—leaves his floors so slippery that when a burglar sneaks in for a heist, the poor crook can't get any traction and ends up sliding straight into chaos. As the thief and the hapless inventor tumble through the waxed halls in a slapstick collision, neither one comes out looking good, though only one of them walks away with regrets about his career choice.
Lucky Duck's seemingly effortless winning streak—contest prizes, free ice cream, a car—drives his pal Rocky to obsession, convinced there's a secret to being lucky. When Rocky tries mimicking Lucky's techniques and even disguises himself as a duck to unlock the mystery, his desperation spirals into increasingly ridiculous schemes. It's a wild ride that asks whether luck is something you can learn, or if some folks are just born with it.
Morton Monk and a friend get evicted from their lodgings and find themselves scrambling for a place to sleep as night falls—leading them through a series of increasingly chaotic encounters with a determined park officer who seems determined to make their evening as miserable as possible. With nowhere else to turn and their credit exhausted all over town, this trio's battle of wits and wills plays out against the city's nighttime landscape in this 1953 humor tale.
Tommy Turtle arrives at Dr. Quacker's office complaining of mysterious aches, sleeplessness, and strange spots before his eyes—convinced he's seriously ill. The good doctor prescribes some pills and sends him on his way, but when Tommy's recovery bill arrives, the turtle discovers the real source of his distress.
