Cover by Ernie Bushmiller. Stories and art by Ernie Bushmiller, Rudolph Dirks, Ving Fuller and Raeburn Van Buren. United's anthology featured reprints of early comic strips, including Abbie an' Slats, Captain and the Kids and Nancy. The new format that started with issue #84 allows for larger reprints of Raeburn van Buren's detailed art on "Abbie an' Slats." Slats is saved from a forest fire by man-hating cowgirl Kate and her sister Jennie. Still disabled from the car crash, Slats helps Jennie find love, but then learns that Becky believes he is dead. The Captain and the Kids' new teacher arrives, and brings along a bloodhound to track down Hans and Fritz no matter where they hide. But perhaps the Kids' finest hour is braiding the dozing Captain's and Inspector's beards together for the Duke's reception - or as Mama puts it, "Der vitskers iss stucked!" The Family Workshop; Nancy; Strange as It Seems; Willie; Captain and the Kids; Abbie an Slats; Back Home Again. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
