Both Scamp and Tramp have an aversion to Trusty's long-winded stories, actually regarding them as punishment. Several elements of this story are remade as "The Great Cat Trek" in Scamp (Western, 1967 Series) #40 (March, 1978).

Monster Museum

"Our Monster Museum is a pretty busy place these days, what with one monster after another claiming recognition and trying to out-scare each other. We hope you enjoy this collection."

Story Notes

For reasons unknown, Gold Key Comics (like Scamp in 1967) that were not offered on a subscription basis did not contain the same six pages of “Gold Key Comics Club” editorial content seen in other titles – but instead offered six pages of material in a similar vein to occupy those same pages (the four pages of the centerfold, as well the last two interior pages). This material was produced editorially, as opposed to “reader contributions”. So, where readers contributed their own drawings of monsters to a Gold Key Comics Club feature titled “Reader’s Page: Monsters”, we have an editorially-produced page of four illustrations of monsters, each with their own unique characteristics described in accompanying text. As this was somehow tied to mail subscriptions, perhaps it resulted from another of those “arcane postal regulations”. © 1967, Western Publishing Company, Inc.
