First Line:
Say, Boo Boo, that fella is new around the park, isn’t he?
Synopsis:
Wacky, a circus-bear who ordinarily works slapstick routines with clowns, escapes for a sojourn in Jellystone Park. Wacky does not speak (as do Yogi, Boo Boo and most of the other park animals), but communicates only through gestures, facial expressions, and a goofy, but winning, smile. After head-butting Yogi and Boo Boo, he steals Yogi’s clothes and proceeds through the park performing his physical pranks on others, who misidentify him as Yogi.

Notes:
This story appears to have had a half-page excised for the Statement of Ownership which follows. While dressed as Yogi, Wacky clonks Ranger Smith with a wastebasket, smacks a fisherman in the face with a fish, and juggles a tourist couple’s oranges having each of them hit the man on the head and smooshes a large chocolate cake onto the woman’s head. Yogi retrieves his clothes from Wacky, who is now in the custody of his trainer – and, appearing as “a brown bear in those very same clothes” – encounters Wacky’s victims in reverse order, and receives the expected retribution. As such, he gets hit with another tourist cake and oranges (page 7, panels 3-4) – but then runs directly into the waste-basket-toting Ranger Smith (page 7, panels 5-7), without any sort of reverse-retribution from the fisherman. But, as he runs into Ranger Smith, he is dripping wet, indicating that the meeting with the fisherman – totaling a half-page – was cut.
