What happens
The Comic Weekly Man reads comic strips aloud to children and makes a special announcement for their parents. He introduces Hopalong Cassidy, whose outlaws have stolen the deed to Buck Peters' ranch and escape the bar twenty ranch. Next come Prince Valiant, Flash Gordon, Dagwood and Blondie, Roy Rogers, Donald Duck, Uncle Remus, Dick's Adventures and Rusty Riley, each read in turn with the characters' fortunes left unresolved for next week. Dale is left floating in space and Hopalong sets a trap for the outlaws.

Listen for: The Comic Weekly Man's announcement to the parents, and the cliffhangers at the end of each strip, which are left for the following week.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
