☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue is an anthology containing three stories. In one story, Marmaduke creates a mechanical device to help prepare food, but when a fox tries to use it to cook a steak, the invention malfunctions and the food explodes everywhere. In another story, Marmaduke attempts to fly using magical incantations from a magic book but gets tangled in a rope with a wizard and loses altitude rapidly, eventually hiding the rope before the king discovers it.
Marmaduke Mouse arrives late to meet Mamie Mouse, only to find himself stranded on a giant sidewalk after a mishap, leading to a series of escalating, slapstick misadventures. As he tries to navigate the absurdly oversized world, he encounters Gus and a group of playful mice who turn the tables on him in a series of humorous pranks. The story builds to a chaotic, cartoonish climax where Marmaduke’s attempts to escape the chaos are met with escalating absurdity — but the outcome of his date with Mamie remains uncertain.
Marmaduke Mouse is talked into entering a boxing contest against the feared heavyweight champion Maxie Bear, only to realize he’s not ready—so he enlists his friend Cuthbert Cat to train him. As Marmaduke attempts to prepare with absurd exercises and avoids actual fighting, the contest unfolds in a series of chaotic, slapstick rounds that test his endurance more than his skill.
Marmaduke Mouse dreams he’s using Foolish Fox’s wild inventions to grow giant and take revenge on Cuthbert Cat, only to find himself bouncing uncontrollably and in over his head—literally. The dream spirals into chaos as his oversized antics lead to a frantic escape, leaving him tangled and dizzy.
