Marmaduke Mouse #43
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains three humorous Marmaduke Mouse stories. In the first story, Marmaduke encounters a foolish fox with a rain-making machine; after the fox demonstrates the device, Marmaduke buys it, operates it successfully to create rain, and then attempts to make it snow, resulting in catastrophic failure. The second story involves Marmaduke helping Farmer Brown plow his field for a dollar, with Prince Pinky assisting; a mill collapses during their work, and they become entangled in comedic chaos with the wheat harvest. The third story features Marmaduke being accused of stealing eggs from a woman, leading to a police chase; Marmaduke attempts to frame Beanie Bear by giving the eggs to him, but the scheme backfires when Beanie reveals the eggs came from Marmaduke's own source.
Prince Pinky and his pal Pudd set out to earn money for the movies the hard way—by taking on odd jobs around town—but their well-meaning efforts at Mr. Wheatly's mill, Farmer Brown's field, and Mr. Smere's painting project seem to leave nothing but chaos in their wake. After a series of costly mishaps, the boys finally get their wish, though perhaps not in the way they expected. A lighthearted romp about the perils of being self-made entrepreneurs, even when your heart's in the right place.
Marmaduke Mouse finds a lucky horseshoe and spends the story hoping it'll bring him fortune—dodging cars, trains, and flying safes as chaos follows his every wish. When his luck finally seems to turn and he discovers real money, he tosses the horseshoe away in disgust, only to stumble upon an unexpected opportunity that turns his luck around in a completely different way. It's a funny-animal romp about the difference between superstition and genuine fortune.
