If You Ask Me - This Is A Job For Supersnipe!

Koppy (Supersnipe) McFad* lived in a very odd little town, even when adjusted for looking back into a different time. How many towns other than Yapburg do you suppose decided "Hey! That kid is the Happiest, so we need to make him more happy!"
Okay, yeah - they do that all the time. But how many say that's what they're doing?
*(Yes, i know i spell McFadd elsewhere, but it changes story to story, and so it changes.)

In Yapburg, they not only do that, they do it every week! Ed Gruskin and George Marcoux tell us all about it...

Um, wait - What?

Koppy is Trouble's 'protecter'? 
Trouble is a boy?

When did this happen? Last we saw in Supersnipe, Trouble was Dotty's dog! Okay, we didn't actually see that. We looked at Dotty Loves Trouble before they added the dog named Trouble, but we did mention it. So... who's this guy?

Let's journey back a year earlier and find out, with the full 23 page tale Introducing - "Trouble"...



Despite that ending, Trouble's curse remained. He returned for a few stories, eventually getting his own short feature - just five appearances ranging from 3-8 pages each.

Since it wasn't in our previous collection, here's the cover for Trouble's first appearance -
