☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains multiple comedic stories featuring teenage characters. One storyline involves a prank where a girl's sweater is cut, leading to phone mishaps and misunderstandings among friends. Another story features boys using a gadget with a bell attached to a bomb as part of a scheme, resulting in chaos when the bell rings and alerts Algie. A third story follows a high school jitterbug contest sponsored by a local hospital, where a contestant's enthusiastic dancing causes disruption and physical mishaps during the competition.
When Algie and his pal spot a beautiful skater on the frozen river, they can't resist making a bet to see who can impress her with their moves—but their competing "techniques" lead to a series of spectacular wipeouts that leave them bruised, soaked, and utterly humiliated. Just when they think things can't get worse, they discover the object of their affection is their history teacher's wife, and the two boys end up footing the bill for hot chocolates all around.
Junior Hopp wants to set up his own tin-can telephone system after his father cuts him off from the house phone, and he's convinced Peggy to let him run the string line across to another house. When Peggy discovers which line he's actually been stringing all along, she finally gets her chance to use those scissors she's been holding onto.
Algie the Rock and his partner Wolf Yogi are tough cops on a mission to bust an operation peddling hot comic books to kids on the East Side—but their investigation takes a comedic turn when a mysterious woman offers to lead them straight to the criminal's warehouse. What starts as a stakeout becomes a wild chase involving double-crossing crooks, unexpected traps, and more trouble than these two detectives bargained for in this four-page laugh-fest from 1954.
When Grover and Tubs decide to earn their Woodsman Merit Badges by camping out for one night, they pack so much gear they can barely carry it—including a bridge lamp, a radio, comic books, and an ice cream freezer—and chaos follows at every turn. Between Grover's mishap with the axe, a mysteriously unpluggable lamp, missing essentials, and questionable cooking, the two scouts discover that qualifying for their badge might require thinking a little outside the rulebook. A hilarious 1954 romp that proves sometimes the best camping trip is the one closest to home.
Algie takes his date Mona to the all high-school jitterbug contest, confident he'll impress everyone with his moves—but his wild dancing and off-the-wall antics quickly spiral into chaos. When Principal Apoplexy accidentally ends up as his dance partner instead, the results are far more hilarious than either of them bargained for.
