Little Lotta #68

When Lotta can't fit into her swimsuit, Mr. Plump takes her to the doctor, who prescribes medicine to tame her appetite. But at night, the formula takes hold, and Lotta’s hunger spirals out of control—transforming her into a ravenous "Food Monster" who raids fire hydrants across the city.

In "A Weighty Problem Solved," Lotta’s insatiable hunger leads her down a slippery slope of mischievous antics after a second overdose of the appetite-suppressing formula, prompting her to steal fire hydrants in a fit of frustration. Her actions eventually catch up with her when Mr. Plump, caught in the chaos, finds himself in court, facing a judge who demands he pay to restore the stolen hydrants.

In "You Misunderstand Me," Jo finds herself caught in a tangle of misunderstandings when her crush, Richie, is mistaken for being involved with another girl—only to discover the truth is far more absurd. The story unfolds with playful tension as Richie tries to clear the air, revealing the girl in question was just a child actress in a soap opera, leaving Jo both relieved and bewildered.
