New Funnies #82

In "Totem Poles and Dinosaur Eggs," Li'l Eight Ball’s discarded scrap of wood accidentally becomes a prized artifact when two pompous professors mistake it for a rare totem pole. Spurred by the $100 they paid, greedy Mr. Woodchuck jumps in with a scheme of his own—selling fake dinosaur eggs as ancient relics.

Oswald and Toby find themselves adrift on a raft after being accidentally towed out to sea by a tramp steamer, their escape from the pier turning into an unexpected voyage. Stranded on a mysterious tropical island, they’re met with quiet unease as one-eyed figures watch from the jungle’s edge—what lies ahead is anyone’s guess.

In "Police Cat," Felix, the sharp-witted feline officer, takes on a string of mysterious crimes, chasing leads that often lead him down absurd and tangled paths. With a mix of determination and comedic missteps, he tries to connect suspects to their alleged offenses—though his track record is far more "miss" than "hit."

In "Riding on a Dragonfly to a Land of Pleasurable 'Tortures'," Mr. Twee Deedle shrinks Dicky, Dolly, and Mickey for a whimsical flight atop Donald Dragonfly, only to land them in the candy-coated clutches of King Goozoo at the top of a windmill. Though the king’s idea of torment—chocolate chains, endless desserts, and bouncy rubber rivers—sounds alarming, it’s all part of a fantastical game, until a cry for help sends the whole group scrambling to investigate.
