Contains 10 stories
Snowboys
8 pp · humor; teen

Two inexperienced boys head to Sunnymount Lodge for the winter carnival with grand plans to dominate every race—but a chaotic shopping trip for skis, a blizzard, and a series of misadventures at the slopes quickly humble their ambitions in this slapstick romp. Whether they're entering the wrong event, starting from the wrong place, or simply causing mayhem wherever they go, these "Snowboys" discover that winning at a winter carnival is trickier than they bargained for.

Sidney Short
2 pp · humor

Sidney Short is a selfish character who refuses to play fair, won't contribute on dates, and turns every social situation into a showcase for his own bad behavior—yet remains baffled by why nobody wants to be around him. This 1947 humor story from Patches #6 uses Sidney's obliviousness as the punchline, showing how his refusal to be a good sport leaves him isolated.

Jackie Kelk
4 pp · humor; teen

Jackie Kelk shares two tales of neighborhood kids learning hard lessons: first, when a bully's unfair marble-trading scheme gets called out by a fair-minded friend, and second, when the gang launches a wartime paper-collection drive only to discover someone's been secretly raiding their stockpile. These 1947 shorts prove that honesty and teamwork beat shortcuts every time.

Truth or Consequences - Ralph Edwards
2 pp · humor; biography

Ralph Edwards shares the origin and wild antics of his hit radio program "Truth or Consequences," tracing it back to the parlor games of his childhood on a Colorado farm. From a woman gleefully flinging a custard pie at him to contestants dancing with bears, riding camels, and walking crocodiles, Edwards recounts the outrageous "consequences" that have made the show such a hit—and reveals how a simple game of forfeits transformed into broadcast entertainment that reaches audiences around the world.

Down on the Farm
6 pp · humor; teen

When Sandy and Spiderlegs board what they think is a bus headed to Smoke City Stadium for a big race, a mix-up lands them at a farm instead—nine miles away from the competition and just an hour before the hundred-yard dash begins. Desperate to escape their unexpected stint as farm workers, the two try their best to mess up every job the boss throws at them, but chaos on the farm keeps piling up faster than they can run away from it. It's a race against the clock as farm life gets between these athletes and their shot at glory.

Sammy Smith
2 pp · humor
It's a Gift!
6 pp · humor; teen

Two eager boys tackle Christmas shopping early to beat the holiday rush, but Sandy and Spiderlegs find themselves swept up in the chaos of a department store where a pilfered Santa beard leads them from one mishap to another. Between escalator mix-ups, a runaway flame thrower, and increasingly frantic store staff on their heels, their well-intentioned shopping spree spirals into pure pandemonium.

Be Prepaired

Medicine in Tomorrow's World

The Yacht Hot Shot
8 pp · humor; teen

When a couple of boys spot a sailing race and realize they don't have a boat, they decide to build one from scratch—purchasing a ramshackle hull at a boat graveyard and enlisting everyone they know (including girls who demand to help) for a feverish afternoon of repairs. With their homemade vessel christened the "Hot Shot," they enter the race against the laughter of established competitors, but their underdog craft has a surprising way of holding its own on the water.
