Patches for President
9 pp · humor; teen
Some Class!
6 pp · humor; teen

When a new superintendent and principal try to restore order at the notoriously rowdy Crawford Corners High School, they discover that chaos runs deeper than muscle and authority can handle—and sometimes the students have a point that even stern discipline can't ignore. This six-page romp from *Patches 'n' Tubby* proves that running a school full of mischief-makers takes more than just muscle.

Smiley Burnette
4 pp · humor

Smiley Burnette takes readers on a rollicking tour of his rise from a nine-year-old musician to Hollywood's favorite sidekick, picking up talents in music, acting, and radio along the way before teaming up with Gene Autry for stardom on the silver screen. It's a lighthearted romp through one entertainer's journey, seasoned with his trademark humor and genuine warmth for the people he's met.

Let's Cut a Rug
6 pp · humor; teen

When Sandy and Spiderlegs break into an energetic dance at a restaurant, they accidentally knock out a cantankerous patron's teeth—landing them in hot water with the law. The judge decides the best way to settle the matter is to let the young dancers show him what really happened, but their enthusiastic demonstration might just prove more destructive than the original incident.

Sidney Short
2 pp · humor

Meet Sidney Short, a conceited fellow who can't help but bore everyone around him with his swagger—whether he's bungling tennis, preening at the Ritz, or hogging the spotlight wherever the gang gathers. This 1947 humor piece gleefully catalogs the misadventures and annoying habits of a guy who's convinced the world revolves around him, even when the evidence suggests otherwise.

Must've Been Something He Ate!
6 pp · humor; teen

When Sandy gobbles down a horseshoe for good luck and follows it with an ice cream soda and pickles, he ends up with a case of hiccups that just won't quit—and his pal Spiderlegs will try just about anything to shake them, from acrobatic tricks to the wildest rides at the amusement park. This 1947 humor tale from *Patches* follows the two teens through increasingly wild attempts to cure what might be the most stubborn hiccups in comic book history.

Why Be Lonely?
