Freddy #40

This issue contains two stories. In the first, Freddy is misidentified as a judge at a dog show and is pressured to award the "Best Dog in Show" prize, but he insists the dog—not Freddy—deserves it. In the second story, Freddy attempts to become a muscular man by visiting Professor Hercules' "Palace of Muscles," but his efforts prove exhausting and ineffective, leading to comic mishaps including getting stuck in windows and encountering scalawags. A third brief story shows Freddy helping Mayor Briston with a car problem, accidentally causing his old car to be destroyed, and then attempting to collect a dollar from Mr. Calous for effort before being tasked with raking leaves at Lacy's Department Store for Stiff's birthday, where he accidentally burns the rake handle and must forfeit his earned dollar.
