Goofy Comics #34

When a catastrophic flood strands families at Corn Acres Junction without food or shelter, Goofy Gander agrees to help Engineer Joe transport emergency supplies by rail—but the scheming Wilbur Fox has other plans, setting the locomotive into a dangerous runaway that puts both the cargo and a passenger train at risk. With the engine barreling toward disaster and Goofy desperately searching the cab for a way to stop it, a race against time unfolds across flooded tracks and treacherous terrain. Can Goofy find the right control to halt the freight train before catastrophe strikes?

Uncle Pigly promises to take a young boy fishing, but his overconfidence in his boat-building and boat-selection skills leads to one mishap after another—first a homemade vessel, then an ill-advised rubber boat, each meeting a watery end. Determined to make good on his word, Uncle Pigly finds an unconventional solution that finally delivers on the fishing trip.

Peter Pigly refuses to go to bed when Uncle Pigly says it's time, finding every excuse to stay awake—a drink of water, a snack, imaginary shadows at the window. But his determination to avoid sleep catches up with him the next day when exhaustion makes him oversleep, show up late to school, fall asleep in class, and even get lost on the way home. By the time Uncle Pigly gives him a cold-water wake-up call, Peter learns that sometimes the best idea is the one he was resisting all along.

Wilbur Fox spots Goofy Gander heading to a picnic with a full lunch basket and hatches a scheme: he convinces the gullible Goofy that the food is improperly processed and volunteers to "test" it himself, experiencing increasingly ridiculous side effects with each bite. By the time Wilbur finishes devouring the entire lunch, Goofy arrives at the picnic empty-handed—but the food comes alive and turns the tables on the scheming fox in the most unexpected way.
