| StoryTitle5 = Scribbly | Synopsis5 = Clover is reading *Secret Heart Comics*, reading a story about how a woman decides that after a kiss with a stranger that *isn't* her boyfriend that she should move on! Clover **immediately decides to introduce doubt to her relationship with Scribbly *yet again*, based entirely on the unrealistic ideal of a severe spinning feeling when he kisses you**. Daffodil announces her “**one-and-only**” Scribbly is there. She immediately demands a kiss when he tries to tell her something from the newspaper, but when he acquiesces, she finds there's no *spinning* and begins to doubt. She ignores him entirely and goes to consult her mother on this and finds that her first kiss with her father *definitely sent her spinning*. However, after Clover dashes off, she points out there *was* because they were *playing* Spin-the-Bottle! She dashes off to go see *Bentley* and **immediately demands a kiss from him for the sake of “an *experiment*! *Nothing personal***!” However, after two soft pecks, she thinks that it clearly won't do and worries that she *isn't capable* of this feeling while Scribbly gets into a fistfight with Bentley. Clover sees Bentley punch him over and knock off his glasses, becoming infuriated with him, grabbing Bentley's arm and punching him repeatedly in the face. Scribbly becomes worried and pulls her off, saying she's getting “**emotional**” and that he *can* take care of himself. Clover takes this to mean she *must* have some kind of feelings for him to become so “emotional,” but starts to worry about the lack of *spinning* in Scribbly's lips. Scribbly tries to bring up *something very important* in the paper, but Clover is busy daydreaming and thinks he's *proposing*, demanding another kiss from him. He does so, but this time, she *does* definitely get a spinning feeling, which somehow also seems to destroy most of her living room and launches her into a hanging light fixture. She says that she didn't suspect *this*, but Scribbly (not clear about what they're talking about,) says that it's *happened* before! Clover asks for another spinning kiss, but misreads his words, thinking it means he's **kissed other girls before**, not helping when he notes that this happens before “especially in **San Francisco**!” She chases him out of her ruined home as Scribbly mopes on the corner. Dizzy approaches him and he shows him the *Morning Bugle*, revealing that the news was *an earthquake happening*!

| StoryTitle6 = Buzzy (4) | Synopsis6 = Buzzy and Susie listen to *Puzzle-Tune*, a radio program that offers a $1,000 prize for people who can essentially "name that tune" when they place a random call to them. They dash to find a phone to call in and decide to go to Mr. Gruff's guess, dashing to Susie's house to let her father know that if they *do* call him, he needs to tell them the song is called "*Chugalong*", but Buzzy says it's *not*, but *Moon Time*. The two explain to him what this is about and Mr. Gruff recalls the song they're humming is actually called *Bird Call* and tells them he'll buy them sodas if he wins. They run off to Buzzy's house, but now realize they've *forgotten* the song. They call him up to ask him what the tune was called over the phone, only for him to think *he's won* and runs out to just decide to buy *every kid he sees* a free soda. On the radio though, *Puzzle-Tune* ends with the correct answer, *Long Time* and everyone was wrong what it was called. They head off to the Sugar Bowl to go get some sodas anyways and find that Mr. Gruff *thinks* he's won. When Susie tells him otherwise, he grabs Buzzy by the seat of his pants, likely to inflict violence on him.
