☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue features two main stories. "The Boy Acrobat Topper" follows a young acrobat who performs a daring trapeze act at the circus, impressing audiences and ringmaster Jack, though he struggles with nerves before his performances. "What Makes Laffy Cry?" depicts clown Laffy's emotional turmoil as he battles sadness backstage while trying to maintain his cheerful persona for the circus show, with Ringmaster Jack attempting to console him.
When the circus safe is robbed in the dead of night, suspicion falls on Topper—and despite his protestations of innocence, evidence plants him squarely in the crosshairs. Fired and forced to leave the Big Top behind, Topper discovers that the truth behind the heist is far more complicated than anyone suspected, involving the very people closest to him. It's a story about loyalty, redemption, and whether a single brave act can restore what's been lost.
Laffy the Clown is devastated when his performing dog Poodles vanishes just before showtime, and Ringmaster Jack organizes a desperate search to save both the act and Laffy's job. When the show must go on without Poodles, something unexpected happens—the audience finds Laffy's genuine tears hilarious, turning his misery into comedy gold. But there's a troubling reason behind Poodles' disappearance, and it involves a jealous rival with darker intentions.
