Rodeo Riot
5 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero
Cuckoo Cat

When Cuckoo Cat learns that his girl's entire family are skilled cowboys, he's determined to prove himself at the local rodeo—even though he has zero experience with bucking broncos, ornery cattle, and the chaos of the arena. Watch as this determined feline stumbles through wild cow milking and bulldogging contests, racking up losses and bruises in pursuit of at least one prize to impress her. "Rodeo Riot" is a fun romp through the rodeo circuit that captures all the slapstick mayhem you'd expect when ambition outpaces ability.

Fish Is His Dish
5 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero

When Atom the Cat tangles with an undersized fish and gets dunked in the process, his wet-fur fury sends him plunging into the ocean for a wild underwater brawl—complete with dogfish, swordfish, and a very hungry whale! Written and illustrated by the Atom the Cat team, "Fish Is His Dish" is a five-page romp of splashes, sound effects, and the kind of slapstick chaos that only a soaking-wet superhero cat can deliver.

Lazy Chicken Bones
2 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals

When a rooster installs a loudspeaker to avoid his morning climb, his labor-saving scheme backfires spectacularly in this 1959 tale from Atom the Cat. What starts as a clever shortcut turns into an embarrassing lesson about shortcuts—and loose beaks.

Why Do It the Hard Way?
1 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero
Cuckoo Cat

Atom the Cat bumps into Cuckoo Cat heading out on an ambitious mountain-climbing expedition, but when Atom questions whether his friend is properly equipped for the climb, Cuckoo Cat reveals he's taking a decidedly unconventional approach to reaching the summit. This playful tale captures the kind of quick-witted humor that makes these funny-animal adventures so much fun.

My Hero
5 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals
Tillie MouseHomer Mouse

After leaving a movie about movie heroes, Tillie Mouse wonders what kind of rescuer Homer Mouse might be—so she sets out to give him chances to prove himself, staging predicaments that might finally show his heroic side. Each attempt to draw out Homer's bravery plays out differently than she expects, leading to a funny clash between her movie-theater ideals and his real-world practicality.

Nut Hatched
2 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals
Sappy Squirrel

When Sappy Squirrel receives what looks like a giant walnut, he's thrilled—until he realizes cracking it is no simple task. His increasingly creative attempts to break open his prize lead to unexpected results in this lighthearted two-pager from 1959.

The Prospector
5 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero

When Atom the Cat's radioactive body attracts the attention of Nutty Ned, a persistent prospector hunting for uranium with his trusty Geiger counter, the determined animal tracker sets out to uncover the secret of the atomic feline's unusual energy—no matter where the chase leads. As Ned pursues Atom relentlessly across wild terrain and through unexpected mishaps, the prospector discovers that keeping up with a superhero cat is far harder than he bargained for.
