The Brain #1
This anthology issue contains two stories. "Kelly the Great Up in the Air" follows a young girl whose television antenna breaks during a TV show, leaving her mother unable to hear a recipe. Kelly attempts to fix the problem by using dough to create a makeshift antenna, but her efforts go awry, ultimately resulting in her getting tangled in ropes while trying to retrieve it. The second story depicts a boy who attends a scout camping trip where the scoutmaster demonstrates tent-pitching techniques, but the boy's attempt at learning new circus stunts through hypnosis causes him to behave erratically, leading to conflict with his father over his defiance of chores and parental authority.
