☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories featuring Freddy. In "North-West Mounted," Freddy goes on a hunting trip to bag a buck's head for the north-west wall of the den, but a woman hunter joins the expedition and complicates matters by insisting on being part of the hunt, leading to comedic complications. In the second story, Freddy becomes entangled with a mysterious man who claims Freddy has the goodness of heart to help a poor vagabond; the man steals a suit from a tailor shop and later manipulates Freddy at a dance, ultimately creating chaos before disappearing from the scene.
Freddy's all dressed up for a night out with Peggy, but his plans crumble when she has to baby-sit her cousin's infant instead—though he volunteers to keep her company and set the mood with soft music and romance. What follows is anything but peaceful as the baby turns their cozy evening into complete chaos, leaving both of them exhausted by the time the family returns home. By the time Freddy staggers out, a peaceful evening is the last thing he ever wants to experience again.
Freddy and Stuff set out on a hunting trip determined to bag a trophy buck for the den wall, but their expedition quickly descends into comic chaos as they mistake peasants for pheasants, narrowly escape an angry moose, and discover that their prized quarry may not have been taken quite the way they imagined. This 1960 Charlton humor story delivers plenty of slapstick mishaps and mistaken identity gags as the would-be hunters learn that the hunt doesn't always go according to plan.
Nick needs cash to take his date to the Harvest Moon Hop, so he jumps at a chance to earn some scratch digging ditches—but when he hears the terrible music at the dance that night, he's got to find a way to save the evening. It's a wild ride of rhythm, rebellion, and the kind of teenage comedy that only the beat generation could bring, all in three pages of pure fun.
Freddy's ripped jacket threatens to wreck his plans for the class dance with Peggy, but when he spots a fifty-dollar marathon prize, he figures a new suit is within reach—if his legs can hold out for ten miles. When a kindhearted tailor named Adolph Needleschmaltz takes pity on what he believes is a poor boy and rushes to make him a suit for free, Freddy's scheme suddenly backfires, and the hastily stitched garment becomes the least of his worries.
