Punch and Judy v3 #7
The cover story involves Punch and Judy playing a tangled-fingers duet on the piano while Punch warns Judy not to play it that way. In another story, Punch encounters Mr. Skyscraper and becomes involved with building permits and the City Building Authority, eventually promising to be good and allow builders to do their work. A third story follows Punch as he ties the Scarecrow in a stone bow-knot to prevent pursuit, only to discover wild horses that can climb canyon walls chasing him and his companions. "Bummer the Little Dutch Drummer of Old New York" tells of a drummer boy in colonial New Amsterdam who protests being assigned to watch pigs instead of playing his drum, leading to a plot by villains to steal both the pigs and his drum.
