Li'l Genius #4

Ollie the Kid, daydreaming about being a fearless sheriff, finds himself suddenly face-to-face with the villainous Mean Murdley, who’s terrorizing Varmint City. In a series of escalating showdowns, Ollie tries to outwit Murdley with increasingly absurd tricks, all while pretending to be the bold marshal he’s pretending to be.

Li'l Genius takes his father, Henry, on a walk with a mission: to teach him proper behavior through real-life lessons. From littering and jaywalking to respecting property and dog etiquette, Ollie guides Pop through each moment with calm wisdom—until the final twist reveals just who learned the most.

Li'l Genius convinces his father, Henry, to pay him 10¢ per pound for any fish he catches, setting his sights on a big score. After hours of no luck, he spots a massive whale washed ashore and claims it weighs 100 tons, demanding $20,000—only to reveal he didn’t catch it, just found it.

Li'l Genius, aka Ollie Orwell, is left in charge of Mr. Prankle’s novelty store while the owner runs an errand. When Mrs. Van Tenspot arrives in a rush to buy party supplies, Ollie tries to impress her with a series of playful tricks—only to accidentally trigger them on himself and the customer, leaving both flustered and laughing.
