Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com · Issue details →
In a storm-lashed night, Flatfoot Burns races up the lighthouse tower to keep its light burning and prevent a ship from crashing, while his partner Joe struggles to reach the boat below. As the tide rises and the candle flickers, the two must work together to stay safe and keep the light on—though a crooked twist may still be afloat.
In a lighthearted domestic comedy, Jo—known only as "Honeybun" to his wife Miggs—tries to avoid his mother-in-law’s visit by pretending to be sick, but his attempts to stay out of sight only lead to increasingly chaotic mishaps with a lawn mower and a makeshift clothesline. When his mother-in-law finally arrives, Jo’s well-meaning but clumsy efforts to impress her result in a series of slapstick mishaps that leave everyone—including himself—dizzy and exasperated.
