    The Claw is convicted by a Terrytown jury and sentenced to life imprisonment, but is broken out of prison by Professor Ohm and his repelling ray machine.

  • The Overly-Convincing Hiccup Cure · 1 pages

    Heckle and Jeckle do too good a job of scaring Dimwit out of the hiccups.

  • Rudy's Spectacles · 1 pages

    Rudy decides to get a pair of eyeglasses, so that he might look intelligent.

  • Moving Day · 6 pages

    Susie's dad berates Sourpuss for not having a job. Sourpuss gets a job with the "McNutt Moving Co.", and his first job is to move Susie and her dad out of their house.

  • Dimwit Improves Himself · 2 pages

    Heckle and Jeckle condition Dimwit for a job as a joke-tester at the Zenith Novelty Company, by subjecting him to a series of gags such as squirting flowers and exploding cigars.

    Rudy replaces his flock of incessantly-cackling hens with a "robot chicken".

  • Sourpuss Fells a Tree · 1 pages

    Sourpuss shows Gandy how to properly chop down a tree so that it falls without causing any damage. Sure he does.

  • A Thousand and One Plights · 7 pages

    Heckle and Jeckle literally stuff and cram Dimwit into a small bottle one quarter of his size to perpetrate a "genie scam" on the cops who look to shut down the magpies' phony fortune-telling business. When Dimwit is finally released from his impossibly small container, he becomes the not-so-mystic servant of Officer Reilly, in another wild outing aptly illustrated by Tyer.

  • Muscle Biscuit · 1 pages

    Heckle and Jeckle sell Dimwit a phony "Muscle Building Biscuit" only to be convinced that it really works.
