But when he finally opens the letter meant for him, he finds a shockingly personal twist: he’s been drafted. Bill Hudson’s expressive art brings the wartime oddity to life, while Jim Tyer’s cover captures the moment with a sharp, period-accurate flair. A 10-cent comic from 1945, this issue blends wartime intrigue with a touch of absurdity.
Beano Bear's laziness on the job catches up with him when he borrows a professor's costume to avoid work—only to have a reporter mistake his disguise for the real thing, turning the street cleaner into an unwitting newspaper sensation. When his boss finds out about the stunt, Beano loses his position, but a job offer arrives that promises to be the easy life he's always wanted, complete with respectability and leisure. Things don't quite go as planned.
Mailman Racky Raccoon’s routine delivery takes a surprising turn when a Special Delivery letter leads him to stumble upon a Japanese spy ring—without even realizing it. Just as he’s about to hand it off, he finally reads the letter himself: it’s for him, and it’s a draft notice.
Fearless Farmsworth takes on a peculiar assignment: capturing a young female chimpanzee for the Chatsworth Zoo by dressing her up in the latest fashionable outfit and luring her with music and charm. What starts as a clever courtship scheme spirals into chaos when the dressed-up chimp's affections—and a jealous rival—turn the tables on our hapless hero.
Happy Hound attempts to teach a rabbit a lesson in hunting—though his instruction keeps getting hilariously interrupted by the very animal he's trying to demonstrate on. From firearms to bows and arrows to nets, each method of hunting instruction backfires in increasingly comedic fashion, leaving our eager instructor in a constant state of misfortune. It's a rollicking three-page romp through the barnyard where the teacher learns that his student is far craftier than anticipated.
Two lazy animals ignore warnings that winter is coming, convinced there's plenty of time to prepare—until the first snow arrives and they find themselves without food or shelter, desperately searching for a place to survive the cold.
