15 pp · humor; superhero
Louie the Louse (villain, introduction)Louie's gang [LolaPeanutThimblebrain] (villains, introduction for all)

In "Wanted: One Corpse!", Louie, a fugitive on the run after a big heist, tries to stay ahead of the law by orchestrating a scheme to frame a look-alike—only to accidentally enlist Funnyman in the plan. When Lola’s mistaken grab of the hero backfires, chaos ensues and the gang’s elaborate ruse collapses under the weight of their own poor planning.

10 pp · humor; superhero
Noodnik Nogodnik (villain, introduction)Ragsy (Zitto's pet dog, introduction)Little Jimmy Zitto (orphaned shoeshine boy, introduction)Jimmy's parents (introduction)

In "The Downfall of Noodnick Nogoodnick," Funnyman swings into action when he spots the scheming Noodnik Nogodnik targeting a shoeshine boy and his dog. With a heroic leap and a quick save, the Comic Crimefighter thwarts the thief, only to uncover a surprising twist: the boy once belonged to a wealthy family, and Funnyman soon finds himself guiding him back to his grateful mother.

The Peculiar Pacifier
7 pp · humor; superhero
B. Beane (newspasper editor, introduction)Karl Borisloff (cartoonist, introduction)Mark Sade

In "The Peculiar Pacifier," Doc Gimmick’s latest invention turns a cop into a peaceable pacifist with a single sniff, giving the mad scientist a new tool for crime—until his scheme collides with the fallout from a cartoonist’s creative crisis. When the artist behind the hated Louie the Lout strip is pushed to new extremes of loathsomeness, the backlash causes newspapers to drop the comic, leaving the world unprepared for the next absurd twist.
