Peter Rabbit #9
The issue contains multiple stories featuring Peter Rabbit and supporting characters. "Cicero and Timmy" shows Cicero attempting to hypnotize a bird while Timmy watches, with Cicero planning mischief while the folks are away. "Uncle Ezra's Storyland" presents two origin tales: "Why the Crane Is Like He Is," explaining how the crane developed his long legs and neck due to his inability to fish in deep water, and "How the Porcupine Got His Quills," recounting how a porcupine gained his defensive spines after being bullied by forest animals. The final visible story involves conflict with a "medicine man" character, an enemy arrow attack on what appears to be a Native American settlement, and escape attempts by the characters.
