Atomic Mouse #18
Atomic Mouse #18 is an anthology issue containing two stories. The lead story shows Atomic Mouse being awakened by Shadow, his dog, as Count Gatto attempts to steal him away in a truck, leading to a confrontation where Atomic Mouse must stop the villain. The second story, "The Funny Bunnies' Baseball Game," depicts a baseball championship between the Funny Bunnies and the Nutty Squirrels, in which the Funny Bunnies ultimately win through the help of Tiny Bunny, who inadvertently tricks the opposing team by blowing a bubble gum bubble that appears to be the ball. In a separate Atomic Mouse adventure, the hero uses a device to prevent a bather from going beyond a certain depth in the water, using an automatic whistle system to keep swimmers safe.
