Stories
- The Pains of Painting · 10 pages
Jerry and Tuffy blame their mischievous ways on their being "underprivileged", so Tom takes them to an art museum to "bring out their better qualities". There, the mice are taken with a mural of modern art and Tom, in an unusual gesture of generosity and kindness, buys them a complete set of paints and other art supplies to stimulate their newfound creativity. For his troubles, Tom is driven daffy by the art-obsessed mice painting their modernist-murals all over the house.
- No Pig Deal · 5 pages
Tyke and a guinea pig (and, ultimately, Spike as well) find themselves mistaken for pigs.
- Droopy the Rock Hound · 1 pages
While assisting "rock hound" Droopy in his search for valuable rocks, Wuff and Sammy are nabbed by Charlie Coyote.
- You Can Lead a Horse to... um, Sorta? · 5 pages
A convoluted series of events results when Barney asks Fuzzy and Wuzzy to exercise their horse, Hoover, and the horse balks at leaving the barn.
- The Flying Coyote · 5 pages
Wuff and Sammy set up Charlie for a (literal) fall by getting him to use a pair of supposedly defective artificial wings from Archie Armadillo's Trading Post. To their surprise, however, the wings work perfectly and Charlie is able to swoop down and capture Sammy, with Wuff next in the coyote's sights.
- Mexican Jumping Mice · 5 pages
Fed up with Jerry and Tuffy's snoring, Tom scoops-up the mice and dumps them in Mexico, locking them in a shed with a bunch of Mexican mice. He then learns that a Mexican cat's master will pay one peso for each mouse caught, and doubles back for Jerry and Tuffy and their new Mexican mouse friends - who've become much harder to catch for having swallowed Mexican jumping beans. To complicate matters, the mice have hopped across the border into the United States.
