Timmy the Timid Ghost #39

Timmy accepts a game of Follow the Leader with the bullying Crusher Charlie at the zoo to defend his right to spend time with Linda Jean—but Crusher uses the contest to put the timid ghost through a series of increasingly outrageous and dangerous stunts. As Timmy struggles through ridiculous zoo challenges and tries to keep up with his aggressive rival, he discovers that perseverance and cleverness might be more powerful than brute strength, and learns an unexpected lesson about standing up for himself.

When Abner the Ostrich gets spooked by Hoby the Gorilla and retreats into his old habit of burying his head in the sand, Sidney the Lion steps in with an unconventional pep talk—teaching him that fear is just a state of mind that can be overcome through confidence and repetition. As Abner practices his newfound bravery, he gets a chance to test whether Sidney's advice actually works when Hoby shows up unexpectedly. It turns out facing your fears isn't quite as simple as it seems, and Sidney ends up learning a lesson of his own.
