Willie the Penguin #2

Willie the Penguin takes his doctor’s advice seriously—until a sudden gust of wind snatches his prescription right out of his flipper. Now he’s on a frantic, waddling chase across the ice, trying to keep up with the fluttering paper that’s supposed to guide him to better health.

Willie the Penguin dreams of joining the Mounted Police to impress a certain young lady, and his chance comes when he teams up with Pierre the Peddler—who claims to be a secret agent working to stop a dangerous crook. Caught between a double-cross, a sawmill, and a showdown in the north woods, our feathered hero must use his wits and a trusty moose horn to prove he's got what it takes to be a real Mountie.

Willie the Penguin takes on the job of training a flock of birds to pick up papers, but when his boss catches him exhausted and assumes he's been slacking off, Willie has to prove just how demanding—and chaotic—his task really is. This one-pager delivers a neat bit of slapstick as Willie's frustration with the birds' performance speaks louder than any excuse ever could.

Willie the Penguin, feeling the chill of a coming cold, flips through a book of remedies—only to take the advice a little too literally. With his feet held high in the air, he settles into a bath, determined to stay warm, no matter how odd it looks.

Willie the penguin takes on Professor Von Ulp's insulting claim that penguins are the dumbest creatures around—but a hasty visit to Gizmo College to settle the score lands him enrolled as a student instead. When Willie accidentally destroys a professor's precious plant-vitamin formula, a lucky explosion creates an even better version, turning our feathered hero into an unexpected campus hero and honorary dean.

Whitey Bear follows along with a radio fitness program hosted by Professor Strong-Arm, eager to build some muscle by lifting rocks, jogging around the block, and following the Professor's increasingly absurd instructions. As Whitey and a friend work through the exercises—complete with a sponsored cake-eating test and a mandatory street fight—they're convinced they're becoming real powerhouses, so they head to the radio station to meet their hero in person. But when they finally find the Professor, they discover something that completely deflates their newfound confidence.
