What happens
The Comic Weekly Man reads the funnies to a young listener, Miss Honey, who shares a riddle about a pig in the parlor. He then reads several comic strips aloud: Beetle Bailey and Killer discuss the Army's recruiting methods, Donald Duck and Daisy fall for a car salesman's pitch, and Princess Mary and Charles Brandon face a cruel bargain. Flash Gordon's crew returns to Earth with a captured giant, and Dagwood tries to catch a litter of puppies. Roy Rogers pursues a horse thief, and Dick and Mr. Kimball meet a suspicious figure. The episode is a 1953 comic-strip reading from the Comic Weekly series.

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.
