Timmy the Timid Ghost #42

When Timmy and his friend Wilma spot an exciting medieval parade in Florence on the news, they decide to make the trip to Italy themselves—with Wilma's trusty flying broom as their ticket overseas. But there's a catch: Wilma's broom looks a bit shabby for an international journey, and the pair's attempts to spruce it up lead to some hilarious mishaps before they can finally set off in style.

Timmy the Timid Ghost helps Miss Prissy adopt what she believes is a sweet, gentle pup—only to discover the little dog is actually a scrappy fighter with a reputation. When a burglar named Mugsy Jones breaks into Miss Prissy's home while she's away, the timid ghost watches as the pup's true nature proves far more valuable than his owner ever imagined.

Timmy the Timid Ghost and his companion Wilma set out on a trip to Italy, but first have to navigate the bureaucratic gauntlet of obtaining passports—a task that proves surprisingly chaotic when a ghost can't even appear in photographs. After jumping through hoops at the Federal Building, dodging the photographer's lens, and enduring a painful all-in-one vaccination from a well-meaning doctor, the pair attempt their sea voyage, only to find their plans derailed by storms and an Italian ship heading back to New York instead.
