Television Puppet Show #1

Sparky Smith and his companion Cheeta stumble into the path of the notorious outlaw Jesse Jim and his gang of cattle rustlers in the middle of the desert, and after a narrow escape, they race to find help—only to discover the nearest town is a ghost settlement too terrified to stand up to the bandits. With no sheriff in sight and the townspeople unwilling to help, Sparky hatches a clever plan using store dummies to outwit Jesse Jim's gang and stop their cattle theft from the B.O. Ranch.

When Spotty the Pup dreads a dentist visit for his aching tooth, Dr. Toothless wastes no time getting him into the chair—and after administering some gas, the pup finds himself floating into a strange world a hundred years in the future. There he meets robots who've become rulers of mankind, and he's granted an audience with their mighty leader, though nothing quite goes as expected in this topsy-turvy realm. It's a wild anesthetic-induced adventure that'll have you wondering what Spotty will dream up next.

Speedy Rabbit arrives at the carnival full of excitement and heads straight for the fun house, where a mischievous clown promises him a good time. What follows is a wild tour through the attractions—from tilting floors and tumbling barrels to a booth-running scheme and various carnival acts—that test Speedy's enthusiasm for fun at every turn.

Spotty the pup dreams of striking it rich when a smooth-talking businessman offers to sell him a shoe-string business for every penny he has—but Spotty soon discovers that actually turning a profit might be trickier than he thought. As he bounces from street vending to running a grocery store, each venture seems to slip through his paws in unexpected ways. Penciled by Carl Wessler, "Big Business" is a lighthearted romp through the fuzzy logic of get-rich-quick schemes.
