☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA comic featuring the character Noodnik going ice fishing, where he attempts to catch a large fish through a small hole in the ice, leading to comedic misunderstandings with his companion about the size of the hole versus the size of the fish. The issue also includes a story titled "The Sad Seals" depicting seals in a cold climate, in which onlookers express concern for a cold seal that refuses to jump in the water and attempt to rescue it when it appears to be drowning.
In a surreal dream sequence, a young boy encounters a mysterious man claiming to be a field representative for the Cold 'n' Creamy Eskimo Pie Company, who whisk him away on a bizarre journey from icy landscapes to a tropical beach. Along the way, the boy experiences a series of impossible and disorienting events—from flying owls to square igloos and candy-sugar ground—before waking up to find himself back in familiar surroundings, unsure what was real.
When a mysterious totem pole resembling Nuk leads a group of boys to declare him their chief, the prank spirals when the tribe insists he’s the real leader. Noodnik and Dude must outwit the enthusiastic "Black Fingernail" Indians to free Nuk, who’s now trapped in a role he never asked for.
Noodnik and Blubber Boy Okputi compete in the annual salmon catchin’ contest, each claiming a massive fish. When the weigh-in reveals Blubber Boy’s fish just barely edges out Noodnik’s, a shocking twist exposes a prank gone awry — one that turns the contest’s outcome into a surprise no one saw coming.
A young man and his dog try to help a stranded seal that won’t swim, experimenting with everything from water wings to a group of penguins to keep it afloat—until they realize the seal might not be as helpless as it seems. As their efforts grow more absurd, they begin to question whether the seal’s struggles are genuine or just a clever act for attention.
