Can You Tie That?
1 pp · Humor
BenCharles

Ben's borrowed Charles's good tie one too many times, and when Charles finally catches him wearing it again at Clam-Town High, the argument escalates into a joke about the tie's mysterious power to make Charles bark like a dog. This quick-witted humor packs all the charm of a classic schoolyard squabble into one punchy page.

No Thicker Than His Head
1 pp · Humor
BusterMr. Warren

Buster asks Mr. Warren for help understanding a word he's come across in a book, leading to a humorous misunderstanding about what "fray" means and where it might be located on the body. This quick gag plays on Buster's literal-minded confusion in a way that's quintessential 1946 humor comic fare.

A Bad Actor!
1 pp · Humor
Moe Mope

Moe Mope refuses to see the famous actor Byron Tyron, insisting he's terrible—though when pressed, Moe admits he's never actually watched him perform, only an imitator once. His friend tries to convince him otherwise, but Moe's mind is made up about an actor he's never seen.

All That He's Cracked Up to Be!
1 pp · Humor
Sam

Sam finds himself in a sidewalk collision that turns into a battle of wits—or at least an exchange of insults about whose head is hollow versus cracked. This quick-fire gag plays on the classic notion that a ringing head means emptiness and a silent one means damage, leaving both parties convinced the other has gotten the worse end of the deal.

Schoolboy Sandy has Horse Sense!

SandyMiss White

Looking at the provided text, I notice that the story titled "Schoolboy Sandy has Horse Sense!" consists only of a brief classroom joke setup where Sandy is asked opposites in class and answers "Giddyap!" to the question about the opposite of "woe." The rest of the transcribed material is from a completely different story about Don Fortune and Andy Jarvis investigating a murder at a gold mine—this is NOT the Sandy story. Since the actual narrative content of "Schoolboy Sandy has Horse Sense!" is just a single-page joke with no plot to synopsize, I output: SKIP

Willie Wiseacre!
1 pp · Humor
Willie WiseacrePetey Peters

Willie Wiseacre offers Petey Peters a peculiar solution to his sleepless nights—imagine walking a tightrope and then imagine falling off it. It's the kind of backwards logic that makes perfect sense in a gag, delivered with the confidence of someone who's clearly never actually tried it himself.

A Tight Squeeze!
1 pp · Humor
Sol

Sol, a quick-thinking salesman, spots a customer ready to buy and sees his chance to close shop early for the day. When the customer complains that a suit jacket pinches at the shoulders, Sol offers a sly solution that trades one problem for another—with hilariously tight results. This one-page humor story from *Don Fortune Magazine* #5 (1946) delivers the kind of swift, punchy comedic timing that made these wartime funny books such a fun escape.
