☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories: "Sniffy in Busy as a Bee," where Sniffy the pup travels to California and encounters flowers and a bee with comedic results; and "The Doubting Duck" by Marty Arnold, in which a conceited duckling named Dawson who claims to know everything gets his foot caught in a mill-wheel at a pond, learns humility from the experience, and ultimately accepts the wisdom of listening to his elders' advice. Additionally, the issue features a story about Senor Sniffy confronting a bull-fighter in what appears to be a bullfighting scenario, where Sniffy is mistakenly thought to be a bull and must escape the conflict.
When Sniffy boasts about knocking out a neighborhood bully, the story spreads until two strangers whisk him away to sunny Balonia in South America—where a contractual mix-up turns him into an unwilling matador facing down an actual bull. Sniffy's adventure in the arena gets wilder and more chaotic than he ever bargained for, and his tropical dreams of escaping winter take an unexpected turn.
Buttercup lands a furniture delivery job for Mr. Grogan, but tackles the work with questionable methods—hauling a piano by himself until Butch steps in with some practical advice about using a pushcart instead. It's a quick lesson in taking help when it's offered, even from an unlikely source.
Goofy Gander and Wally Wolf are trying their luck at truck farming when a driving mishap leaves Goofy in serious trouble—his head swollen to enormous proportions and his vision completely gone. With Wally desperately searching for help and a doctor on the scene, Goofy faces an anxious moment wondering what his fate might be.
Merton Monk, a publicity agent down on his luck, catches a break when J.P. Flabbergasted of Ghastly Pictures calls with a job promoting the film "Hot Rod Harry"—but a series of chaotic mishaps on the way to the studio threatens to derail everything. When Monk's bumbling antics accidentally create the perfect publicity stunt, he lands a dream job with the studio, only to discover that his new bosses have plenty more wild ideas in mind.
Uncle Pigly learns a hard lesson about fashion when his complaints about how young people dress backfire spectacularly—a encounter with a sharp-dressed stranger leaves him battered and humbled in this 1952 humorous tale. Sometimes the best style statement comes from an unexpected source.
Sniffy's California vacation takes a fragrant turn when he stops to enjoy the local flowers—only to provoke an angry bee that's determined to make him pay for the intrusion. What follows is a hilarious back-and-forth of revenge schemes and escalating chaos that lands our pup in some pretty unexpected places before the bee has the last buzz.
