The Farmer, His Son, and the Donkey
2 pp · children · pencils Lee Sherman [as Lee] · inks Lee Sherman [as Lee]

A farmer and his son struggle to please everyone as they journey with their donkey—first walking while the animal goes unused, then trying various riding arrangements, each drawing criticism from onlookers who can't agree on what's right. With each attempt to satisfy the crowd's judgment, they find themselves in more ridiculous situations, learning a timeless lesson about the futility of chasing universal approval.

Backstage with Death
5 pp · detective-mystery; religious

When Anne Winslow's winning play is produced at the university, she becomes entangled in a real-life mystery backstage—a woman named Madame Pierre has entrusted her with a wallet containing vital papers meant for her uncle, but spies are determined to intercept it before she can leave. As Father O'Malley and Anne work to protect the documents from harm, their efforts collide with the theatrical production itself, forcing them to improvise a desperate rescue during the very performance that brought them there. A tale where the stakes of the stage become all too genuine.

The Quiz Kid
0.5 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals

Daffy takes on a wager that he can answer any question posed to him, but quickly finds himself stumped when asked about a peculiar creature that defies easy description. This clever little tale plays with the rhythm of a riddle gone hilariously wrong, proving that confidence and actual knowledge aren't always the same thing.

Photographic Fantasy Comes True
2 pp · non-fiction

Edwin H. Land's revolutionary instant camera—which produces a finished photograph just one minute after snapping the shutter—transforms a photographer's long-held dream into reality in this 1947 account from Catholic Comics. The story traces how Land's invention, celebrated by the Optical Society of America as a breakthrough comparable to the shift from wet plates to daylight loading, works its photographic magic through ingenious chemistry and mechanical precision. For amateur photographers everywhere, the chance to compare a picture with the actual scene before leaving and retake it if needed represents nothing short of a transformation in how pictures are made.
