☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFreddy and his girlfriend Peggy go out to dinner at a restaurant where Freddy insists on paying the check, leading to a comedic dispute over who will cover the bill. The issue also includes a "Good Tips" advice feature on improving women's public speaking, covering common speech faults like the "ah break" and "word swallowing," along with various advertisements and a brief comic strip about a boy who fears a firecracker scare.
Freddy tries to make up for slacking off in school by volunteering to cut Superintendent McHazy’s grass, but he’s torn between keeping his promise and keeping a date with Peggy. To escape the chore, he devises a scheme involving a pair of dark gray glasses he hopes will trick the superintendent into thinking it’s raining—only to find himself stuck cleaning the office when his plan backfires.
Freddy convinces Rip to buy a ticket to a magic show starring the Great Wando, only to plot revenge after Rip mocks him. When Rip volunteers to assist the magician on stage, the Great Wando reveals a surprising connection to Freddy — and Rip’s prank takes an unexpected turn.
Margie, a devoted bargain hunter, buys an entire outfit—including a dress, shoes, gloves, and even a car—only to wake up in a surreal nightmare where everything around her has shrunk, making her feel tiny and overwhelmed. As she struggles to navigate her suddenly oversized world, she realizes the bizarre scale shift might be tied to her bargain purchases, leading to a startling revelation about her new "dolls" and a dramatic change of heart.
Freddy panics when he realizes two giant fake firecrackers he brought home for the school play might be mistaken for real ones, sparking a series of exaggerated fears and mistaken alarms. As his mom and a passing police officer react with alarm, Freddy tries to hide the firecrackers—only to accidentally set off a chain of chaos when a dog barks and a car tire pops.
