☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories. In the first, Junior attempts to help his Uncle Elmer clean house but misunderstands instructions, removing the feet from the couch instead of helping with actual housework, causing chaos. The second story, "Stuffy Derma: Life of the Party," follows a portly character invited to Betty Bacon's birthday party who fantasizes about being popular with girls; he imagines transforming himself into "the life of the party" by attending a special school, only to be disappointed when he discovers the school is just a television show. Additionally, "Orry Orangutan" features a man telling children a story about encountering a ferocious lion in the jungle, recounting how he survived the dangerous encounter by crawling into other cages to escape.
Muggy-Doo is determined to sell his junk to Osh, who's just withdrawn a hundred dollars from the bank—but no matter what angle the persistent peddler tries, Osh keeps refusing. When Muggy-Doo disguises himself with yellow dye to sneak past his resistant customer, he discovers that Osh has been planning a birthday surprise all along, and now the dye might ruin everything.
Muggy-Doo trades his junk wagon for dreams of Broadway stardom, landing an agent and eventually a Hollywood film contract—but the pint-sized cat quickly discovers that show business has a way of teaching harsh lessons, especially when contracts come with very fine print. As Muggy-Doo navigates talent coaches, wardrobe fittings, and film sets, he learns that ambition and a good attitude aren't always enough to survive in the entertainment world.
Stuffy Derma gets an invitation to Betty Bacon's birthday party and, desperate to make an impression, enrolls at the "Life of the Party School" to learn how to be the life of the party. Armed with a collection of practical jokes—a squirting flower, exploding matches, and card tricks—Stuffy heads to the celebration ready to dazzle the guests. What unfolds is a comedy of errors as Stuffy's schemes go hilariously sideways, but the results might surprise him in the end.
Two small-time crooks stake out the junk-man's daily routine, planning to use him as their unwitting accomplice in a jewelry store heist—but when the junk-man innocently sells the stolen goods to some kids for pocket change, the thieves' scheme falls apart in the worst way. Muggy Doo learns a lesson about luck and honesty when the bumbling criminals end up behind bars, though their parting threat leaves him camping nervously outside the prison gates.
