☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains three stories featuring animal characters. In the first story, Junior receives a visit from Uncle Elmer, who asks for help cleaning his house; when Junior agrees to remove the feet from the couch, he takes the request literally and removes the furniture's legs. In the second story, "Stuffy Derma: Life of the Party," Stuffy receives an invitation to Betty Bacon's birthday party and attempts to be the life of the party by putting on a suit and hat, then instructing a man on how to dress for the occasion to impress the girls. In the final story, "Orry Orangutan," Mr. Orangutan tells little girls a supposedly true story about encountering a ferocious lion in the wild, claiming he escaped by plunging his arm down the lion's throat and turning it inside out, before casually walking away to other cages.
Muggy-Doo, the persistent peddler, tries every trick in his playbook to unload his junk on a newly wealthy cat named Osh—switching through disguises as a salesman, a cleaner, and a health inspector, only to be spotted and tossed out each time. When a final gambit involving yellow dye doesn't fool Osh either, Muggy-Doo discovers what really matters to his target, leading to an unexpected birthday surprise.
Muggy-Doo ditches his junk wagon for the bright lights of Broadway, convinced stardom is just around the corner—but when a theatrical agent spots him performing acrobatics, things take an unexpected turn toward Hollywood and a series of contracts with increasingly fine print. Our young cat discovers that show business has a way of humbling even the most ambitious dreamer, and learns some hard lessons about reading the details before signing away his future.
Stuffy Derma dreams of impressing the pretty guests at Betty Bacon's birthday party, so he enrolls at the "Life of the Party School" and learns a handful of pranks—a squirting flower, exploding matches, and card tricks—all guaranteed to make him the center of attention. When Stuffy arrives at the party and tries out his new tricks, things don't go quite as planned, but the evening takes an unexpected turn that wins over the crowd.
When a junk dealer stumbles upon costume jewelry hidden by two crooks, he innocently sells it to a couple of kids for pocket change—setting off a chain of events that lands the thieves behind bars. Now, camped outside the prison gates, the nervous cat-boy waits for the day the vengeful criminals are released, wondering what they'll do when they finally get their chance for payback.
