Story featuring Chuck White

Storyline: Chuck is back in Steeltown and runs into Tony Laport, who tells him he just sold his bike because he's leaving town and there are no streets or roads where they're going. Tony and his mom joined a group of people who are going to move to Alaska and be modern pioneers. Chuck finds out the newspaper he works for was sold and he's out of a job, so he figures this would be a great opportunity for him to join the group and go to Alaska. He trades his station wagon in for a tow truck and the group heads out for Alaska, nearly 3,000 miles away.

The Big Game

Storyline: We are introduced to the cast of characters we will be seeing regularly throughout the year in this game of life. Usually, the entire story focuses around a central theme, but in this installment, each panel or two, features a separate situation for our attention. A lady's package fall out of her bag as two boys watch and one suggest they help her. Fred is annoyed at his mom, when he and Jim go to Fred's house and his mom tells them they'll have to prepare dinner for themselves because Aunt Kate is very sick. Some of the girls gossip about Marge always wearing the same old jacket.

Storyline: Frumson Wooters, the new boatswain for The Resolute, arrives today at the Yacht Club. The ship's crew is dressed in pirate garb and will be sailing from Long Island, NY to Pirate's Cove, Florida. One of the crew welcomes Frumson aboard with a salute from a small cannon, not knowing that Frumson had filled it with cherry pits, bannan peels and a turkey leg bone, which makes a mess of a longboat under repair. Jimmy and Frumson walk the deck with a toolbag, not realizing tacks are spilling out from a hole in the bag. The barefoot deckhands scream out in pain after stepping on the tacks.
