In "Just Act Like a Ghost," Timmy the Timid Ghost tries a new approach to making friends—by pretending to be a bear, only to accidentally scare off the very creatures he’s trying to befriend. When a human approaches, Timmy’s instinct kicks in, and he unleashes a frightful display without realizing the consequences. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by George Wildman, with cover art by George Wildman and Jon D'Agostino, this 1959 Charlton classic captures Timmy’s endearing misadventures in a clever, lighthearted tale of mistaken identity and unintended frights.

In "Un-Bearable," Timmy the Timid Ghost tries a daring new plan: disguising himself as a bear to join the other bears in the woods. But when a human approaches, the bears flee in fear—only for Timmy to accidentally scare the human right back, not realizing his own ghostly presence is the real source of the fright.
