Happy Comics #1 is an anthology featuring multiple animal-themed humorous stories. One story follows a cat who, after being chased by a policeman while trying to catch fish, escapes and enlists the help of an African chief and a yellow bear to devise alternative fishing methods using nets and vines. Another story depicts a magician genie character performing tricks and subsequently freeing two bird-like companions, who then encounter horses on a road and attempt to beg for food, leading to comedic misunderstandings about joining the Navy.

Drip Van Winkle, a laid-back bear, takes a nap in Sloppy Hollow and wakes up nearly two decades later, finding the town changed and his old friend Snooky Bear grown into a mischievous young adult.

Trotter and Prancer, two bored merry-go-round horses, wish for a change of pace and are granted their wish by a magic crow. Their attempt to explore the world leads them on a wild series of misadventures, from being mistaken for racehorses to narrowly escaping a butcher’s shop, before realizing that home might still be the best place after all.

A pug, trying to hide from the police after a jewel heist, takes refuge in a sculpture studio and fashions a bust of Napoleon from stolen clay.
