Flight-Mare

When a reckless driver veers off a mountain road with a carload of eggs, his passenger—the magical Mystic Moot—transforms the wrecked car into a jet plane, then a flying horse to get them to town on time.

Henry the 16th

Joe Miller, a serious actor tired of having jokes published under his name in the Joe Miller Joke Book, attempts to escape his embarrassing reputation by starring in a new Spanish play—but his innocent misunderstandings of the language only generate more laughs at his expense. As he fumbles through rehearsals and interactions, the relentless joke collector continues to document his every mishap, turning Joe's serious comeback into yet another source of comedy gold.

The Barrels of Youth
5 pp · humor

Jetsam Joe gets twenty-four hours of shore leave and promptly falls for a con man hawking barrels of "magic water from the Fountain of Youth"—paying $10,000 for the dubious cargo and smuggling it aboard ship. When pirates attack and drink the mysterious water as a toast to their victims' doom, Joe watches in amazement as the swashbucklers rapidly shrink into infants, but a whack on the head from the Captain suggests Joe's adventure might be nothing more than a dream.

Safety First!

Mal Arky thinks he's found the perfect setup when he manages Kanvasback, a perpetually losing fighter, against the undefeated K.O.

You Can't Push Him Around
