"Strange It Seems," by Ernest Hix, presents curious facts and trivia, including information about Padre Island's size, the legend of the Darkmuir Monster, anthropological theories about extinct civilizations, and observations about water on Earth. The issue also includes a humorous comic sequence involving characters on a boat dealing with rheumatic issues and a barbecue outing that devolves into comic chaos on the water. The comic also features various advertisements and promotional materials typical of 1948 publications.
A wealthy sea captain's chronic grouchiness seems like the perfect cure for a trip to a rejuvenating hot springs—but when a well-meaning doctor's treatment backfires spectacularly, the Captain finds himself caught in a series of escalating mishaps. An invitation to a royal elephant roast with the Queen arrives just as chaos erupts, and the Captain must scramble to salvage both his reputation and the occasion before disaster strikes.
