Peter Rabbit #14
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue containing three stories. "Cicero and Timmy" features the cat Cicero investigating a "Private Eye" sign and being threatened to keep pests out of the kitchen. "The Giant and the Little Shepherd" tells of a poor boy tending sheep who encounters a weeping giant with an injured foot; the giant befriends him and eventually the boy discovers a treasure in a crack in the earth, which he shares with his brothers and uses to build a castle and marry. The final story shows Peter Rabbit and companions receiving food delivered via radio beam from the sky, discovering a visitor from space with his head stuck in the ceiling, and greeting the alien as "the wisest one of all."
When Cicero the private eye discovers someone's been getting into the kitchen jam, he launches a full investigation—complete with fingerprint matching and some creative (if not entirely successful) detective work. As the clues pile up and Timmy the mouse gets caught in the crossfire, Cicero's bumbling methods lead to an amusing twist that reveals exactly who the real culprit has been all along.
When Sparky Smith and a companion stumble upon a mysterious band of Indians rustling cattle from local ranches, they decide to investigate—only to discover the culprits aren't who they seem. With the real thieves closing in and the local sheriff nowhere to be found, Sparky has to outsmart the gang and expose their scheme before it's too late.
When Peter Rabbit and Dazy seek shelter from the rain in a cave, they stumble upon a mysterious machine—and its operator, who happens to be from another planet! Whisked away in a flying saucer to Venus, the two find themselves navigating a bewildering alien bureaucracy filled with eccentric officials and head-scratching procedures, all while trying to figure out how to make it back home. It's a wild-eyed romp through otherworldly red tape and strange customs that proves sometimes getting home is just as adventurous as the journey itself.
Peter Rabbit shows off his new television set to an enthusiastic visitor, but when a glamorous performer appears on screen, Peter becomes so mesmerized that he forgets all about his company—with hilariously awkward consequences. This 1952 humor tale plays with the classic distraction of television entertainment in a way only funny animals can pull off.
Peter Rabbit and his pal Dazy suit up for an interplanetary adventure, convinced they're about to make first contact on Mars after a high-speed journey through space. When they finally touch down, they're in for a surprising discovery about where they've actually landed.
