Li'l Menace #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains at least two stories. In "Tuffy Tries Them Out," a mother asks Tuffy to test out some new building bricks to see if they're comfortable, but the boy's antics end up causing chaos—he yells while on the roof, goes upstairs, and loses the tools, leading to an exasperated father discovering the mess. In the "Li'l Menace" story, the titular character causes trouble by sharing ice cream cones with other children, resulting in them all getting messy and crying, which leads to the parents scolding Li'l Menace and demanding he behave better.
When Li'l Menace overhears his parents excited about a "robber" coming to visit, he jumps to the worst conclusion and sets traps to protect the house—only to discover the visitor is actually his father's old college friend nicknamed "Robber" (short for Robert). What starts as a misunderstanding becomes a wild night of chaos and confusion as Li'l Menace's plans go hilariously awry.
On moving day into their new neighborhood, a young boy tries to help his family settle in, but a series of mishaps—starting with a broken dish—leaves him in the doghouse with his mother. Seeking redemption, he turns to the friendly neighbor lady for advice, and she kindly encourages him to borrow something that will cheer him up. What he decides to borrow leads to a chain of events that leaves the neighbors with quite an impression of their first day as part of the community.
Tuffy gets a new pair of shoes and decides to test them out in the most chaotic ways possible—walking fence rails, playing football, and sliding into bases—turning a simple shoe store visit into an afternoon of mayhem. With each "natural" way of breaking in the new kicks, Tuffy manages to wreak havoc on the store's carefully organized stock and the frazzled shopkeeper's patience. Will these shoes survive Tuffy's enthusiastic sporting experiments?
A dad tries to tackle his do-it-yourself projects in peace, but when he cleverly sends his mischievous son upstairs to keep him out of trouble, the boy has other plans—and finds the tool chest. What starts as a well-intentioned lesson about doing things yourself takes a hilariously disastrous turn when Li'l Menace decides to apply that very philosophy to something Dad's radio absolutely did not need.
Snuffy and a young pup spot a newspaper advertisement for a $5,000 reward to reach the moon first, and they decide to launch their own moonshot using a rocket ship they've discovered. Their ambitious (if chaotic) blast-off goes wildly off course, crashing into a film studio's set and accidentally becoming the comedic highlight of a live television show.
When Mom and Dad get into a squabble over who's tired of doing the dishes, Li'l Menace sees a chance to play the grown-up—volunteering to tackle the whole pile himself and insisting his parents relax in front of the TV instead. But as the night wears on, the young menace discovers that being mature enough to help doesn't always mean getting the fairness he expects in return.
