# Speedy Rabbit #1 The issue opens with Speedy Rabbit being arrested by a uniformed officer, with a character named Doc Duck involved in the situation. Speedy encounters a fellow drifter in a top hat who warns him about a character named "this dud," and Speedy responds with physical confrontation. In a subsequent scene, Speedy is interrogated about various charges including disturbing the peace, creating a public nuisance, interfering with freedom of speech, and interrupting someone. The story then shifts to a tale involving Peter Rabbit and Mr. Wolf: Peter tends his garden while Mr. Wolf admires the vegetables; Peter decides to set a scarecrow to prevent birds from eating his crops, but a young girl in a red hood walks through the garden trampling plants, and she steals vegetables intended for her grandmother, leading to a confrontation between Peter and Mr. Wolf over the missing produce.

Contains 7 stories
Smarty Pants
6 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Peter Cottontail lands a spot on a television quiz show, but his eager new "manager" Moxie has other plans—cramming Peter's head full of facts through increasingly aggressive study methods to turn him into a champion contestant. When Peter aces the quiz show with all the right answers, he discovers the real prize goes to the contestants who get questions hilariously wrong, leaving both him and his ambitious manager empty-handed.

The Ducktater
5 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Peter Cottontail tangles with Doc Duck, who's seized power and declared himself "Ducktator" with grand speeches about toppling the establishment—but when Peter challenges the tyrant, both he and Mayor Bear end up locked away. Left alone with the would-be dictator, Peter discovers the real source of Doc's revolutionary fervor and finds an unexpectedly simple solution to restore order. It's a funny-animal romp that proves sometimes the biggest threats are just full of hot air.

Bee-Cause
1 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

A young pup named Rudolph encounters an unexpected visitor in "Bee-Cause," learning that sometimes the smallest creatures can turn even the toughest attitudes around. What begins as an attempt to intimidate becomes an unexpected lesson in tolerance when Rudolph realizes that brute force isn't always the answer.

Cry Wolf
5 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

When Peter Cottontail's friend Honeybunny frantically calls for help after being chased by a wolf, Peter finds himself facing down a much tougher opponent than he bargained for—a professionally trained brawler with a reputation for breaking bones. Rather than slug it out directly, Peter cooks up a clever scheme to handle the situation using some inside information his pal Chuck provides about their menacing pursuer. It's a lighthearted tale of brains trumping brute strength in this 1958 adventure from Speedy Rabbit.

The Beach Umbrella
1 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals
World Series Today
3 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Buster and Brownie Bear have saved up for World Series tickets, but they've only scraped together enough money for one admission—until Uncle Bosco suggests they could watch the game on television instead. When the kids discover TV sets are far too expensive, they devise a clever workaround that lands them a front-row view of the action without spending another dime.

The True Story of Little Red Riding Hood
5 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Uncle Peter tells his young listeners the real story behind Little Red Riding Hood—or at least, Mr. Wolf's version of events. When the girl in the red hood repeatedly raids the old wolf's garden and eats the cookies meant for her grandmother, he devises a plan to teach her a lesson, but the resulting commotion only makes matters worse for him. What begins as a tale of vegetables and misunderstandings becomes a funny look at how stories get twisted when only one side gets told.
