Tick Tock Tales [Tick Tock Comics] #6

Goofus the Gopher launches his new boat, the Flying Squid, hoping to make money renting it out for fishing parties—but when a suspicious customer named Mr. Smith hires the vessel and insists on hauling up oysters instead of fish, our eager gopher finds himself caught up in something far more mysterious than a simple seafaring job. As Goofus and Mr. Smith work the oyster beds, a chance discovery in an oyster sandwich sets off a chain of events that reveals the true nature of the expedition and leaves Goofus wondering what he's accidentally thrown away.

Spanky thinks he's pulled off the perfect prank on his pal Clarence by tricking him into believing he's won a thousand-dollar radio contest—but when real gangsters overhear the fake announcement and rob a sporting goods store, Spanky's scheme backfires spectacularly. As the two boys find themselves caught up with dangerous crooks, they'll need all their wits to turn the tables and somehow come out on top in "Fifty-Fifty!!" from Tick Tock Tales #6.

When a carnival hosted by the Tricksy Pixies draws crowds away from the local bug merchants, the scheming Bug Aboo hatches a plan to shut it down—and decides the only way is to destroy the Mighty Atom, the pixies' protector. But when his hired bugs, the spider Stringy and the bee Stingy, manage to catch the hero off guard, the Mighty Atom awakens to find the carnival in danger, leading to a high-flying showdown at the loop-de-loop and ferris wheel that will decide the fate of the celebration.
