The issue features "Double Trouble," a story about two young girls named Snuffy and Tuffy who start a laundry business to earn money. After successfully pitching their idea to parents and neighbors, the girls begin washing clothes but encounter a series of comedic mishaps, including getting tangled in rope and accidentally destroying items. When their efforts to manage the business become overwhelming—including an incident where they accidentally damage a customer's hair—the girls ultimately abandon the venture, deciding that chocolate pudding is preferable to hard work.

Contains 9 stories
Waiting on the Corner
6 pp · Humor

When Tuffy and Snuffy promise their parents they'll stay put on a corner while the grown-ups shop, the two kids spot a delivery truck and hitch a ride straight to the amusement park—technically keeping their word without moving from the spot. What follows is a wild romp through carnival chaos, where the boys tangle with a stubborn ticket seller, careen through various attractions, and cause mayhem at nearly every turn. This 1964 story proves that sometimes the cleverest loopholes lead to the loudest trouble.

Tuffy and Snuffy
3 pp · Humor

Two pals who brag about their toughness—Tuffy and Snuffy—decide to settle their differences with a knock-down, drag-out fight, complete with all the sound effects and fury you'd expect. But these best friends have a trick up their sleeves that'll catch you off guard. A lighthearted romp about loyalty and the art of pulling a fast one.

The Dancing Lesson
4 pp · Humor

A dance instructor takes on two spirited pupils, Tuffy and Snuffy, at her school—and quickly discovers that good intentions and literal interpretations of her lessons don't always mix. As the boys put their own spin on the fundamentals of ballet, the dance studio becomes ground zero for chaos, leaving their poor teacher to wonder if she's taken on more than she can handle. It's a hilarious clash between instruction and imagination that builds to a comedic breaking point.

Correction Please
1 pp · Humor
No Rest for the Bleary
4 pp · Humor

Tuffy and Snuffy overhear their exhausted fathers wishing for a rest, so the enterprising pair dream up a lemonade stand—then a laundry collection business for Mrs. Blimp—determined to earn money and lighten their dads' load. Armed with nothing but a kite and some quick thinking, these two pint-sized entrepreneurs set out to prove that brains beat brawn when it comes to getting the job done.

All in a Day's Dirt

Me an' My Brother

A pair of brothers claim they know absolutely everything in the world, but when challenged to prove it, their confidence hits a snag—turns out one of them can't talk yet!

Tuffy's Turn

Two pals square off in a playful Wild West shootout, but when Tuffy finally takes a turn being the one who gets shot, he discovers that Snuffy's softhearted nature might make him the worst loser in this game.
