☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue features Taffy, a mischievous young character who becomes involved in a comedic scheme at what appears to be a restaurant or diner. In one story, "Word Gets Around," Taffy spreads gossip that spreads rapidly through town via various means of communication, ultimately backfiring when the false rumors she started turn into a boomerang effect. Another story involves Taffy taking a job at an establishment where she's instructed to make flapjacks, leading to slapstick mishaps including hiding a frying pan in a manhole cover to prevent her employer from discovering her antics.
When a couple of mischievous kids are dragged to the museum as a reward for doing chores, they decide to liven things up by impersonating a mummy—then find themselves caught in an escalating series of pranks and chaos involving museum exhibits, fake Native Americans, and increasingly frazzled adults. It's a rowdy six pages of slapstick hijinks that proves sometimes the best museum experience is the trouble you make along the way.
When Glenn Ford arrives at Bonny Brook to help the local players stage a show, rehearsals quickly turn competitive—especially when Taffy and Spence land the lead roles and others grow resentful of being sidelined. A sabotaged rope and hidden tensions threaten to derail the whole production, but Ford seizes the moment to remind the cast that every role matters in making the show succeed. It's a brisk lesson in teamwork wrapped in theatrical mishaps and genuine heart.
When gossip spreads through a small town via every method imaginable—wig-wag signals, smoke signals, and the telephone—Betsy finds herself chasing down the source of a terrible rumor. She soon discovers that the scandalous story everyone's repeating is actually about her, and her attempts to convince the gang it's all false only backfire spectacularly. This 1947 humor tale from Taffy Comics captures the chaos of small-town rumors with clever visual storytelling and a dose of ironic comeuppance.
When Taffy's father announces the family is broke and serves bread and gravy for dinner, the resourceful siblings decide to teach him a lesson about thrift by getting jobs themselves. Taffy lands work at The Greasy Griddle, where attempts to make fancy pancakes for the lunch rush go hilariously wrong—complete with flying batter and increasingly exasperated customers. As chaos mounts and the boss loses patience, will Taffy's scheme actually convince Dad that economizing wasn't such a great idea after all?
