The Brain #2
The Brain #2 (1957) This issue contains two stories: "The Day the Zoo Was Jinxed," in which a boy asks his father for carfare to Africa, leading to a series of slapstick mishaps when the father's attempt to take him to the zoo results in chaos including a bonk on the head and flour explosion; and a gymnastics story in which the Brain character attempts to build muscles to intimidate a school bully, only to discover that brains matter more than brawn when he outsmarts his tormentor with a rope trap.
