Fore What?
1 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Merry Mouse hits what he thinks is a beautiful drive on the golf course, but his ball finds an unexpected target—another character's brand new hat. When a dispute erupts over who owes whom compensation, a simple miscommunication about golf etiquette turns into an argument neither player expected to have on the links.

The Little Darling
8 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Peter Rabbit gets an unexpected visitor when his friend Dazy brings along her energetic young cousin Kilroy, who's eager to see the rocket ship—but the pint-sized space cadet has other ideas about how to use it. When Kilroy takes the ship for an unauthorized joyride to an alien planet, Peter and Dazy must chase after him across strange terrain and meet colorful characters like the speedy Zip-Zap and the resourceful Doctor Q, all while trying to keep the little troublemaker out of harm's way and get everyone home.

The Tiny Thimble Town!
7 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Merry Mouse finds an intriguing flower growing in the lake with a mysterious map inside, leading him and his companion Millie to a hidden cave where a strange scientist has built "Tiny Thimble Town"—a miniature world populated by mice he's shrunk from around the globe, each group assigned specialized tasks. When the scientist threatens to reduce Merry and Millie to thimble size and force them to work in his "American Department," the two must find a way to escape and free the captive mice from their bizarre prison.

Just Pals!
5 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

When Cicero and Timmy spot a ten-dollar bill on the sidewalk, their race to claim it turns into a chase—until Timmy cuts a deal: they'll pool the money for ringside wrestling tickets and go as buddies. But a stormy night, a car that runs out of gas, a forgotten raincoat, and a crucial slip-up threaten to test just how solid their newfound friendship really is.

Shooting Stars!
7 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Space Mouse and a companion named Molly spot a flying saucer spying on Earth and give chase, only to be lured into a trap by the wolf-bird leader Lobo, who seizes their spacecraft to fuel an invasion. Rescued by the Space Police and brought before a space judge, Space Mouse must convince the authorities of the danger and rally forces to liberate the Pantry Planet and stop Lobo's scheme once and for all. This 1953 adventure from Funny Tunes pulses with ray-gun action, planetary perils, and the kind of earnest, quick-witted heroics that made Space Mouse a fan favorite in the anthropomorphic funny-animal comics of the era.

The Know-It-All!
3 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Spotty the Pup wants to impress Dolly, but when the smooth and wealthy Reggie Van Kibble shows up with a fancy new car, Spotty decides to prove himself by teaching her various sports—tennis, golf, and fishing—each time claiming expertise he doesn't quite possess. As Spotty's boasts unravel in increasingly comic ways, Dolly's natural talent keeps upstaging his know-it-all instructions, leaving him scrambling to save face.
