☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue containing at least two stories. The opening story involves Freddy and friends visiting a zoo's bird house, where they encounter animals that escape and put the characters in cages instead. "Land of Fantasy" is a text story about Dr. Howard Belasco, principal of Northtown High School, who works with the G.O. Council to create a playground for local children using discarded materials and imagination rather than a large budget. "Carson's Glue" is a comic story in which a red car becomes stuck to a pigeon loft due to glue, leading to a chaotic chase and crash as the vehicle attempts to escape before a storm arrives.
Freddy reluctantly agrees to teach Stuff how to drive his hot rod, only to find himself in a chaotic lesson filled with misunderstandings and near-misses. As Stuff struggles with the basics—clutch, gears, and speed—their ride quickly spirals out of control, culminating in a crash that brings the police to the scene.
Freddy, Peggy, and Stuff visit a zoo, where Freddy becomes convinced the animals are plotting against humans after a surreal moment when he wakes up thinking he’s been captured. As he stumbles through a dazed dream sequence, the animals—each voiced with playful menace—declare their rebellion, claiming they’ve escaped their cages and are now taking turns imprisoning humans. Freddy snaps back to reality, shaken but relieved, only to be teased by his friends as they head home.
A young boy named Junior is determined to learn guitar quickly, inspired by a self-teaching record course. With a mix of enthusiasm and comedic missteps, he attempts to master the instrument in just ten days, leading to a series of funny mishaps.
Kit Carson, as a young man, finds his true calling on a journey to Santa Fe, embracing the wilderness as his home and rejecting life in towns. He becomes a legendary hunter, trapper, and scout, forging paths through the Rocky Mountains and serving as a guide on Fremont's expeditions.
Nick the Beat, convinced he's helping "poor people of backward countries," knits a bizarre, pocketed sweater for an Australian native—much to Hermione's bewilderment and disbelief. When she calls him out for his questionable logic and priorities, Nick doubles down, insisting his knitting has a purpose, even as his plan spirals into absurdity.
Freddy and his car, Stuff, face off against the arrogant Brad in a high-stakes drag race, but sabotage from Brad’s sneaky friend Ferdie threatens to derail the contest. As Freddy races through a series of obstacles—including a glue truck, a pigeon loft, and a sudden storm—his determination and quick thinking keep him in the lead.
A young boy stands in awe before the monuments of Washington D.C., feeling the weight of history and the pride of a nation built on freedom. As he reflects on the legacy of those who came before, he realizes the deep value of the freedom he’s been given.
