Knight of Armor
6 pp · humor

When Capt. Kid shows up to Mrs. Tinglewaite's masquerade party boasting he'll win first prize with a fancy knight's armor costume, a series of mishaps—a thieving bird, a construction site tumble, and a race against the clock—leave him scrambling to scrape together the rental fee. After losing the armor to a rival and landing himself a genuine beating in the scuffle, Capt. Kid arrives at the party battered and bruised, only to discover that his battle-worn appearance has accidentally won him the very prize he was chasing.

Hot Under the Collar
1 pp · humor

Rubbernose Randolph storms into a clothing shop demanding immediate service, and when he finally gets the clerk's attention, he insists on buying a collar—just like the filthy one he's already wearing. The hapless clerk delivers the perfect punchline about what they actually have in stock.

A True Ghost Story!
4 pp · humor

A sailor named Joe stands guard over a cursed ruby aboard ship while the captain heads ashore, but when three ghostly figures appear demanding the jewel, Joe convinces himself they're nothing but his imagination—with hilariously disastrous results. This 1947 tale from Comic Comics proves that sometimes the scariest thing isn't what goes bump in the night, but believing in the wrong explanations.

Untitled story
0.5 pp · humor
A Photo Finish
5 pp · humor

When Kanvasback decides he desperately needs his picture taken, a chance encounter with a fight promoter sets him on a comic path toward the boxing ring—but his real objective has nothing to do with winning. As he stumbles through a bout at Madison Square Garden, Kanvasback's single-minded pursuit of photographic fame leads to a hilariously misguided climax that proves sometimes the camera really does steal the show.

Suit Themselves
2 pp · humor

Colonel Corn and Korny Kobb trade quips about fashion and clothing in this two-page humor story, with the pair swapping jokes about tailoring, fit, and the perils of keeping up appearances. It's a straightforward gag-driven romp that celebrates the kind of rapid-fire wordplay and visual comedy that defined 1947's humor comics.

Time for Comedy
4 pp · humor

When Peewee Pete takes his boss Mr. Jones's treasured family watch in for repair, he spots a chance to pull off what he thinks will be the perfect prank—swapping it for a toy watch to scare his notoriously cranky boss. But a mix-up at the repair shop turns Pete's joke into a disaster that lands him in hot water far faster than he expected.

Bubble Trouble
4 pp · humor

When a crook steals the famous Dazzledrip Diamond and holes up atop Eek Peak, a mysterious figure with magical powers decides the police need a hand—and his magical companion provides just the edge he needs to reach the mountaintop thief. With bubbles doing the heavy lifting, our hero faces off against a tough robber who won't give up his prize without a fight. It's a lighthearted romp mixing crime caper thrills with humor and magic.

Sam the Sheriff Loses a Find
2 pp · humor; western-frontier

Sheriff Sam tracks down the outlaw Terrible Tad after a bank robbery, and manages to get the drop on him during a midnight arrest—but when Tad asks to retrieve something he left behind, Sam's moment of mercy turns into a costly mistake. This 1947 humor western proves that even a lawman's good intentions can backfire in the Wild West.

Most Popular Student
5 pp · humor

Freddy Freshman dreams of being as popular as Ace Jackson, but when Ace suggests he throw a lavish party for the whole class, Freddy realizes he doesn't have the money—until a mysterious inheritance letter arrives. Thinking his luck has finally changed, Freddy rents out the town's nicest nightclub and invites everyone, only to discover that the letter is an elaborate prank orchestrated by Ace himself. When Ace's own father learns what his son has done, he decides it's time to teach the prankster a real lesson—one that leaves Freddy looking like the hero of the night instead.

Misnomer
1 pp · humor

A job applicant named Simpson walks into Trader Tom's operation looking for work, but a case of mistaken identity—the trader hears "Samson" instead—lands him with an impossibly long list of backbreaking tasks. When Simpson finally sets the record straight, Trader Tom realizes his comical error.

Tracks Down Trouble
6 pp · humor

When Richard Richard, Podunk's hapless private detective, is hired to guard the prized racehorse White Lightning before tomorrow's big race, he and his assistants Flub Dub and Ah Choo stumble directly into a scheme to sabotage the horse—and themselves.
