SUMMARY:
Published by Whitman (Western Publishing Company, Inc.) for September 1976, this issue consists of:
- Test Flight (6 pages): Inspired by an aviation museum, Sylvester builds his own contraption to fly the unfriendly skies chasing after Tweety.
- Magic Hat Cat (4 pages): Playing amateur magician, Sylvester tries conning Tweety into playing the ‘pull a bird out of the hat’ trick to impress Granny.
- Fishy Biz (6 pages): As Granny watches a goldfish for a friend, Sylvester bungles an opportunity to go fishing for his catch-of-the-day.
- Wrong Note (6 pages): Tweety’s new dog whistle means that Sylvester fights back with a ‘canary flute.’
REVIEW:
It’s a given that the humor in these four tales is pretty tame. Still, “Wrong Note’s” cute premise might have made a decent cartoon. The same might be said of “Test Flight.” Essentially, Whitman continues the same cheap artistic style as Gold Key used for earlier issues in this series. Curiously, the likeness of ‘Granny’ varies (suggesting that “Fishy Biz” might actually be a Gold Key reprint). For the sole purpose of briefly amusing Tweety & Sylvester’s ‘6-and-under’ fans, this inoffensive comic is a reasonable choice.
